📝 Step-by-Step Instructions
Wash Your Hands Clean your hands thoroughly with soap and warm water.
Prepare the Syringe Remove the syringe from its sterile packaging. The one shown here is a 1 mL syringe, marked in units (U-100 insulin scale) — 50 units equals 0.5 mL.
Clean the Vial Wipe the rubber stopper of the Zepbound vial with an alcohol swab.
Draw the Dose Pull back the plunger to draw in air equal to your dose (e.g., 50 units = 0.5 mL).
Insert the needle into the vial and push the air in — this helps prevent vacuum pressure.
Invert the vial and slowly draw the liquid until you reach your prescribed dose (e.g., 50 units for 10 mg).
Tap the syringe to release air bubbles and adjust the dose if needed.
Choose Injection Site: Recommended areas: abdomen (at least 2 inches away from the navel) or thigh. Rotate sites weekly.
Inject Clean the area with an alcohol swab.
Pinch the skin (optional based on needle length and personal comfort).
Insert the needle at a 90-degree angle and inject slowly.
Remove the needle and dispose of the syringe in a sharps container.
