How to use it
A small once-weekly subcutaneous injection, usually in the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm. Your provider starts you low and increases the dose gradually to manage side effects. We include clear instructions and your care team can walk you through your first dose.

FAQ
How soon might I notice changes?
Appetite changes often begin within the first weeks, but this varies. Your provider sets expectations for your plan.
What if the nausea is bad?
Message your care team. Dose timing and titration can usually be adjusted — that's exactly what ongoing support is for.
