| Point | What to check | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| how to inject | Timing, dose, symptoms, meals, fluids | Helps avoid one-day judgment |
| weekly | Medical history and other medicines | Some cases need individual review |
| abdomen | Lifestyle, protein, sleep, bowel movements | These often change the visible result |
Site rotation prevents local problems
Do not inject into the exact same spot every week. Rotating within approved areas can reduce irritation, tenderness, bruising, and thickened skin. Avoid areas that are red, hard, bruised, infected, or scarred.
If you are not sure the injection worked
Do not repeat a dose automatically. Check the device, the skin, whether liquid leaked, and the timing. If there is uncertainty, contact the clinic or pharmacy rather than using another pen by yourself.
