Spotlight: how and where to inject Wegovy
Inject into the lower stomach area, about 1-2 inches away from the navel. This is usually easiest and ensures the medication gets absorbed into your bloodstream quickly. Other good injection sites include upper legs (thighs) and upper arms.
You should choose a new injection site each week, leaving 1-2 inches between sites to avoid irritation.
