Where & How to Inject Semaglutide
Semaglutide is injected once weekly under the skin. Learn the best injection sites, how to rotate them, and proper injection technique.
Semaglutide injections are given under the skin (subcutaneously) once per week.
You can inject semaglutide in the:
- Abdomen (stomach area)
- Thigh
- Upper arm (outer area)
Rotate injection sites each week to prevent irritation and help absorption.
Many people find the abdomen easiest, especially if using a pre‑filled pen. Your provider will give you step‑by‑step training — but generally, you:
- Clean the area with an alcohol swab;
- Pinch a small fold of skin;
- Insert the needle at a 90‑degree angle;
- Push and hold the dose for a moment;
- Dispose of the needle safely.
