GLP-1 Injection Site Rotation

Prevent Lumps & Pain

Learn proper injection site rotation for Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro. Prevent lipohypertrophy, reduce pain, and ensure consistent absorption.

Recommended Rotation Pattern

The 1-inch rule: Always inject at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) away from your previous injection site. This gives tissue time to heal and prevents lipohypertrophy (fatty lumps).

Example 4-week rotation: Week 1: Right abdomen (upper) Week 2: Left abdomen (upper) Week 3: Right thigh Week 4: Left thigh Week 5: Right abdomen (lower) โ€” start new cycle

Pro tip: Use Shotlee to log each injection site. The app shows your last injection location so you know where to inject next.
