Where to Inject GLP-1
Correct GLP-1 injection is essential to ensure treatment efficacy and minimize discomfort. Recommended injection areas are: abdomen (5cm from navel), thighs (upper outer part), and back of arm.

Rotation between sites is important to prevent lipodystrophy. The abdomen is the most used location due to easy access and consistent absorption. Avoid injecting around the navel and areas with scars or bruises.
