Providers assess individual risks, screen for contraindications such as recent pancreatitis, and tailor dosing to improve tolerability
Yes, injection site selection does matter when administering glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists such as semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy), dulaglutide (Trulicity), or liraglutide (Victoza, Saxenda)
