The video instructions apply to both the Semaglutide & Tirzepatide. The vial may look small, but it is concentrated so you only need to take the right amount with minimal bacteriostatic water. Using only 2mL of bacteriostatic water makes it easy to measure the dose. For example: 1mg = 1mL. The starting dose is 0.25mg which is 0.25mL on the insulin syringe.
Injections are once weekly.
We recommend taking your shot before bedtime.

FAQ: Why is it that on week 4 it’s 50 units and on week 5 it’s the same at 50 units?
Answer: Because on week 5, you are drawing from a 10mg vial instead of a 5mg vial. The strength is 2x stronger.

Week 5: 2.5mg (50 units on the syringe)
Week 6: 2.5mg (50 units on the syringe)
Week 7: 2.5mg (50 units on the syringe)
Week 8: 2.5mg (50 units on the syringe)

1. Pinch a layer of fat from your love handles and inject in the fatty tissue. Â We recommend injecting before bed time. Â This area works well for no pain or sting because it is mostly fat tissue.
2. Avoid the lower abdomen – it is a little harder and more painful.
3. Do NOT inject SQ into the thigh, many people have seen knots in the area from this method.
4. Inject slowly – if you push the mixture in too quickly, the solution might come back out of the injection spot around the needle.  When all the liquid has gone, leave the needle in for a second or two, then take the syringe out.
5. Give the injection at a 90 degree angle if you can grasp 2 inches of skin between your thumb and first finger.
6. Try to stay at least one inch away from the belly button and rotate daily. Â This is where the injection is most quickly absorbed.
7. Hold the syringe like a pencil and quickly jab it into the skin.
8. Rubbing the area a bit assists in faster absorption.
