Thank you. I’ve been so worried about starting my medication but now that I found this demonstration, I can go forward with confidence. Thank you again.
Thank you! I really needed this clear instruction/demonstration. I was nervous about doing it because I didn't feel like I knew what I was doing, but I was able to successfully administer this medication with this video guidance. Thanks again!
Thank you very very much for this! Was running around for 8 hours; afraid and anxious about that *&%$#@**-injection...worked out together in the same second as you did!
Thank you soo much I got semaglutide yesterday and watched this vidoe of you a bunch of times in started my first dose this morning and I did it ok cuz all the times I kept watching this vidoe of you I remembered and played it back over in over again in my mind like how you were doing it in frj there when I did it the first time myslef this morning I did ok thank you soo much for your help you are blessing many blessings your way 😊 ❤❤❤❤
Should have inserted the amount of air into vial as to the amount that you are going to withdraw. Thus almost never a bubble. IT will equalize the pressure in the vial.
@@jvc8947no - you are supposed to wipe the rubber gasket top with the alcohol pad, pull back the plunger to fill the syringe with your dose of air, inject the air into the vial, then draw up your dose - never taking the syringe out of the vial. Then check for bubbles (shouldn’t be any), then inject into yourself.
@@jvc8947everything in packaging is sterile unless you touch the needle. What would you be contaminating it with? This is literally how nurses do shots.
This helped me so much. I have a real fear of needles so, needless to say, I was SO scared to do this myself. I had a hard time getting one tiny air bubble out of the syringe but, after a few attempts tapping the syringe to get the bubble to the top and into the bottle, I finally pushed all of the medicine back into the bottle and gave the BOTTLE a tap, pressed the syringe tight against the bottle THEN pulled and the air bubble was so tiny it was practically non-existent. Then it came time to inject 😂 I stood there like a statue for about 30 seconds before just DOING it and I didn't even feel it! You feel the tip of the needle touching your skin but as soon as you go for it, you feel nothing 🙌🏻 I counted the 3 seconds to inject and then forgot to hold for 5 lol. Next week will be a breeze. THANK YOU!!
Wow, I saw a lot of videos, but yours covered it all! It took my fear away, I went and did the injection myself right away. Piece of cake! Thanks, Doctor, wish I had seen your video first.
Great video. I do have one question. I read where someone said you should first push air into the vial before pulling the serum back out. Is this something that is optional? Or is it totally wrong?
Yes, you should push the saw amount of air as your dose into the vial. Order drawing up your dose. It helps prevent air bubbles in the syringe and prevents a vacuum effect in the vial that can suck the syringe back down for larger doses.
Thank you so much for taking your time and going through this thoughtfully. This is one of the best ones I've seen. Can we leave the syringe that has been filled out for an hour before we inject it so that it is not cold? And of course put the vial back in the fridge during that time
TLDR: Proper storage and administration of medication, such as semaglutide or trizepatide, is crucial for ensuring its effectiveness and safety. 00:00 💉 Refrigerate your medication as soon as you receive it and only take it out when you're ready to use it. 00:52 💉 Remove the cap or metal disc to expose the rubber ring before injecting semaglutide or trizepatide. 01:13 💉 Use the needle to get the medication and you may receive one or two syringes for changing doses over time. 01:33 👩⚕ Choose the right syringe size and be mindful of the units or milliliters when measuring medication doses, and ensure the plunger is at the zero mark before starting injections. 02:55 💉 Clean the bottle and skin with alcohol pads, then insert the needle into the rubber plunger and push it all the way in to withdraw the fluid. 04:03 💉 Pull back the exact dosing suggested, tap out any air bubbles, and push the air bubble back inside before pulling back to the original number. 04:46 💉 Choose a spot with fat underneath the skin to inject semaglutide or trizepatide, such as the abdomen, love handles, thigh, or upper arm, and be careful not to inject under pressure. 05:35 💉 Clean the injection area, inject slowly, hold for 5 seconds, dispose of needle safely, and store medication in the refrigerator.
It’s a very small needle. I had that fear too. The first time my brother helped me because I was so scared. Don’t be scared it’s actually very small. Good luck.
Thanks for this. It would be so helpful if the printing were large enough to be legible and the needles weren't such miniscule and crap quality needles. Makes it difficult. Also, the liquid should be colored so you can see whether or not you are actually getting the medication into the syringe.
Great video. Has any of you or the pharmacy experienced seeing a painful skin rash in the area where the shot was given? That has been my experience and i've been taking a steriod cream to deal with it. I really in a short time am sold on the benefits of Trizepetide but need to get past this somehow. Thanks for any feedback!
what is the best way to travel with this? If the vial tips over, will some spill out of the tiny hole created by the needle? Would it be best to fill the needle before traveling and only travel with the needle?
I am confused This video does not tell you to push the air into the vial It just tells you to take it out What do I do? This video is different from the other one
This is the best video on this topic! A couple small points: Step 0 - A. prepare a clean flat work surface. B. Wash your hands thoroughly. Also, always dispose of used needles/syringes in a sharps container. Check with your local authorities for drop off/disposal procedure (differs by region) so sanitation workers, curious children, etc., are not injured. You can get free sharps containers by mail that you can then mail back for disposal when full. Google free sharps containers.
I need help!!! I am on a newbie and confused. So they starting me on 2.5 and I just got my package the vial it’s Half way full. The syringe 💉 has til 5-50 units, idk what’s the units I need to start on
Are you supposed to change out the needle after using it to draw out the medication from the vial? That’s what I learned when I was an MA. Is it safe to reuse that same needle after using it in the vial and re injecting it into the muscle ??
I’m so confused. My instructions do not say to put in your love handle, says to push air into vial first, says to turn vial upside down when filling, and to draw on syringe before pushing plunger to make sure no blood draws back into the needle. He did none of that?
The directions i received said I should put a bew seal sticker on the top of the vial to avoid contamination, none of the videos ive seen talk about it, do I put the cap back on? They also say to push air into the bottle 1st, then extract more than needed, and push it back in to the correct dosage. Im also only taking 25 units forever, but the concentration doubles every 4 weeks.
Hello I tried your instructions carefully. I can't get the needle to draw the fluid into it. I did the needle and container elevated little too. Please help
I’m having same problem with tiny vial and small amount of solution. I have to make sure needle isn’t in too far and comes in contact with solution. Went through all the needles they sent me and had to get more through my pharmacy and their needles bigger and will Try this week.
Depends on the strength of the bottle. My bottle is 2mg. I'm prescribed a dose of .25, which is 12.5 marks on the needle. So half, or .5, would be 25. Talk to your doctor though please. Just give them a call.
I have that same syringe and need to add 1ml of bacteriostatic water to the semaglutide peptide. So, I'm assuming that means I'm filling that syringe 3 times and finishing with one fill to the 10 line to get 1ml. Is that correct?
I was told to let it sit out for about 30 minutes after I put it into the syringe to get it to room temperature is that optional? Sometimes I feel like if I leave it, sit there on the counter to get to room temperature some leaks out of the syringe.
Great video! I am not sure of the ml and what I'm currently taking right now. The provider this time sent me the syringes with the tirzepatide already done. If I want to get a vial what will it be for 5mg? I think it's better b/c it might be more affordable. Thank you
Same needle and syringe? Not cleaning the vial top with an alcohol pad prior to inserting the needle? This is all very questionable. Would not trust these instructions.
Best demo video I've seen so far. Thanks
Thank you. I’ve been so worried about starting my medication but now that I found this demonstration, I can go forward with confidence. Thank you again.

Thank you very very much for this! Was running around for 8 hours; afraid and anxious about that *&%$#@**-injection...worked out together in the same second as you did!
In case you're wondering, 100 units = 1 milliliter. So, for instance, if you need 0.3mL, that's 30 units.
So if I have a 50 unit syringe, and I want to add 4ml of bac water, I would go to .4 ml on the syringe, correct?
Thank you! I was wondering this.
So I take wegovy 1mg/.5ml is that equal to 50 units?
My provider said 20 units is 2.5mg
This was excellent instruction I am a first timer and this served me well thank you!

How deep does the needle need to go to deliver the medicine? I'm trying to deal with my needle fear.
It’s a very small needle. I had that fear too. The first time my brother helped me because I was so scared. Don’t be scared it’s actually very small. Good luck.
Dziękuję za pokazanie jak zrobić🌷🌷
I have to watch a video like this every time. Don’t know what I’m scared of I know it doesn’t hurt!
Do you put the cap back on the medication or discard it?
Discard
can you please make a video and show where exactly on 100 units syringe will be 0.5 semaglutide dose?
10 units

No. Those rubber tops are self sealing.
It has to be kept cool, so travel with a cooler.
I just got mine delivered. It hasn’t been placed in the refrigerator yet but the vial has not been opened. Did I ruin the medicine?
Is there a typo on your video? Do you mean Tirzepatide or Trizepitide?
You put Trizepitide on your video
@@EliasWolf77 yes it's a typo, thank you
So I’ve seen a longer needle in another video, and then this one was like microscopic. Does the needle size vary depending on something specific?
right .. mine is huge in comparison lol
Syringes vary. Usually the long needles are for reconstituting only. The injections for GLP-1s are usually diabetic syringes and are teeny tiny.
Thank you!😊
How many units equals 2.5mg. thats all i wanna know
12.5 units
Google.
It depends which medication you use. Ozempic (compound) is .25 which is like 5 units while Monjaro starts at 2.5.
its also depends on a syringe they provided you
@@IstanbulApple yeah I was a whole noob 3 months ago. I got it down pack now though. Thank you 💪🏽

60!

You push air into vial when either reconstitute or using oil based. Its not necessary to use a vacuum effect on such a low dose
do we use the lower black ring or the top blk ring to measure the exact amount?

If I was doing 5mg from a 15mg mounjaro what would that be on the syringe?

What needles are you using? I have bought several and they don’t seem sharp enough or maybe I’m not doing it right
insulin needles seems to be the preferred choice.

Can you draw all your medication in separate syringes ahead of time and freeze them?
No. Never freeze your peptide after it's been reconstituted. Please don't do that.
