Injections of semaglutide are administered subcutaneously (under the skin) as a solution (liquid). A weekly injection is usually administered without regard to meals. Every week, use semaglutide injections at any time of the day on the same day. If it has been more than two days (48 hours) since your last dose of semaglutide, you may change the day on which you take it. You should follow the instructions on your prescription label carefully, and you should ask your doctor or pharmacist if you don't understand anything about semaglutide.   How long you remain on semaglutide will depend on how well you are responding to the medication. Patients begin on a low dosage and after 4 weeks, your doctor will probably increase your dose of the semaglutide injection. If your body responds well to the medication, your doctor may increase your dose again after another 4 weeks. Each patient's response and needs will be closely monitored to determine how semaglutide can best help them.   Semaglutide is available at the Wellness NPs so book your appointment with us.
