The injection is taken under the skin, usually in the stomach, thigh, or upper arm. Full instructions are provided, and the pens are designed to be simple and discreet to use at home.

Treatment always starts at a low dose, which is then gradually increased over several weeks. This helps minimise side effects and allows your body to adapt. Your clinician will guide you through the correct dosing schedule based on the medication prescribed and your response to treatment.
