At LiveWellRX, we're dedicated to helping you get the most out of your weight loss journey. If you've been prescribed Tirzepatide (commonly known as Mounjaro), knowing how to properly self-administer this medication can help optimize its benefits.
What is Tirzepatide?
Tirzepatide is a powerful GLP-1 and GIP receptor agonist that can help you manage weight and control blood sugar. For best results, it’s essential to follow the correct procedure for injections.
Step-by-Step Guide to Injecting Tirzepatide
-
Prepare Your Supplies
- Make sure you have your pre-filled pen, an alcohol swab, and a sterile gauze or cotton pad.
-
Choose the Injection Site
- The most common injection areas are the abdomen (avoiding a 2-inch area around the navel) or the thigh. Rotate sites with each injection to prevent irritation.
-
Clean the Area
- Wipe the injection site with an alcohol swab and let it dry.
-
Administer the Injection
- Remove the pen cap and hold it at a 90-degree angle to the skin. Press the pen firmly until you hear a click. Keep holding it in place for about 10 seconds to ensure the full dose is delivered.
-
Post-Injection Care
- Gently press a sterile gauze on the site if needed. Do not massage the area, as this may affect the absorption.
Tips for Safe Use
- Always store your medication in the refrigerator.
- Never reuse needles.
- Follow your healthcare provider’s instructions for dosage and frequency.
