Instructions for Self-Administration of GLP-1 Injections

DRAWING YOUR MEDICATION Step 1. Check the medication label. Make sure your medication matches the dosage prescribed by your provider. Step 2. Remove the lid from your vial. Step 3. With the syringe cap still on, pull back the plunger to the 50 mark (0.5ml) on your syringe. This fills the syringe with air. Step 4. Remove the syringe cap and insert the needle into the rubber top and push all of the air into the vial. Step 5. Turn the vial upside down and pull the plunger back to the 50 mark again to draw 0.5ml of medication. Step 6. If you see air bubbles in the syringe, keep the tip inserted and tap the syringe with your finger until the bubbles move to the top. Then gently push the plunger to push the air bubbles back into the vial. INJECTING YOUR MEDICATION Step 1. Remember to rotate your injection site. You should be at least 1 ½ inches away from the last injection site. Step 2. Select your injection site and cleanse the area with an alcohol wipe. Wait for the site to dry. Step 3. Pinch a 2-inch fold of skin between your thumb and index finger. Step 4. Hold the Syringe the way you would a pencil or dart. Insert the needle at a 45-to-90-degree angle to the pinched-up skin. The needle should be completely covered by skin. Step 5. Hold the syringe with one hand. With the other, pull back the plunger to check for blood. If you see blood in the solution in the syringe, do not inject. Withdraw the needle and start again at a new site. If you do not see blood, slowly push the plunger to inject the medication. Press the plunger all the way down. Step 6. Remove the needle from the skin and gently hold an alcohol pad on the injection site. Do not rub. Visit www.lindora.com/glp1-at-home for more info.
