A once-weekly shot used to support weight loss by helping you feel fuller for longer. It works by mimicking a natural hormone that regulates appetite and hunger.
Inject the medication subcutaneously (under the skin) once weekly, on the same day each week. The injection can be administered in the stomach, thigh, or upper arm. Rotate injection sites to avoid irritation. Do not inject into muscle or vein.
What should I do if I miss a dosage?
Injectable Semaglutide
If you miss your weekly dose and it’s been less than 4 days, take it as soon as possible. If more than 4 days have passed, skip the missed dose and resume your regular weekly schedule. Do not take two injections within 3 days of each other.
How should I store GLP-1 medications like Semaglutide / Tirzepatide?
Injectable Semaglutide
Keep refrigerated (36–46°F). Do not freeze. Some compounded versions may be stored at room temperature once opened — check the pharmacy instructions. Protect from light.
When should I take my dose of Semaglutide / Tirzepatide?
Injectable Semaglutide
Take once weekly on the same day and at approximately the same time. You can choose any day of the week that fits your schedule. Mark your calendar or use reminders to help stay consistent.
Can I take a dosage that I’ve already been on if I’m switching to you from another doctor?
Yes, but only under medical supervision.
If you're switching to BetterMe Rx from another provider and you've already been prescribed a specific dose of semaglutide or tirzepatide, your assigned clinician will review your medical history and current dosage to determine if continuation is appropriate. In most cases, we can resume treatment at the same or adjusted dose, depending on the formulation and your clinical profile. Be prepared to share recent health information and any records of your current treatment when completing your intake.
