How to Inject Ozempic
How to Inject Ozempic
Ozempic is injected under the skin (subcutaneously) of your stomach (abdomen), thigh, or upper arm. Do not inject Ozempic into a muscle (intramuscularly) or vein (intravenously). Do not mix insulin and Ozempic together in the same injection. Change (rotate) your injection site with each injection.
When is it best to inject Ozempic?
What is the best time to take Ozempic? Administer Ozempic once weekly on the same day each week, at any time of the day, with or without meals.
Can I inject Ozempic on an empty stomach?
You can take Ozempic with or without food. Since it’s a once-weekly injection, it doesn’t matter whether you take it with food. Ozempic doesn’t get absorbed inside the stomach, so food doesn’t affect it that way
What foods should I eat while taking Ozempic?
The good news is there are no specific Ozempic foods to avoid and no customised diet recommendations. All we suggest is that you maintain a healthy diet and consistently incorporate lifestyle changes.
A balanced nutritional intake, together with regular exercise will help to support weight loss alongside your Ozempic treatment — and importantly avoid weight regain.
The NHS Eatwell Guide is a great place to start with how a balanced meal should look like — from foods rich in vitamins to healthier alternatives to help satisfy those food cravings.
One advantage of taking Ozempic is that it makes you feel fuller quicker so this can be helpful when preparing smaller meals.
