Mixing Semaglutide safely involves gently swirling the solution until the powder fully dissolves in the diluent, without shaking, to avoid creating bubbles or foam. Ensure you use the correct amount of bacteriostatic water as prescribed.
Preparation: Before starting, gather all necessary materials, including the Semaglutide vial, bacteriostatic water, syringe, and alcohol wipes. Working in a clean, well-lit area is important to prevent contamination.
Dilution: The amount of bacteriostatic water used for dilution should be carefully measured according to the Semaglutide concentration required. This step is crucial for achieving the correct dosage.
Mixing: Once the bacteriostatic water is added to the Semaglutide powder, the vial should be gently swirled in a circular motion. Shaking the vial vigorously can lead to foaming or air bubbles, which may affect the medication's concentration and efficacy.
Prepare the Injection Site: Choose an injection site that is two inches away from the belly button or in the thigh or upper arm. These areas tend to hold more fat and can be less painful during injection. Clean the area with an alcohol wipe to reduce the risk of infection.
Drawing Up the Medication: Once you mix the solution, draw the prescribed amount of medication into the syringe. Ensure the needle is securely attached to the syringe and avoid touching it to keep it sterile.
