The best time to take your injection is whenever you can stick to it consistently each week. We recommend setting a phone reminder to help you stay on track.
You can also be strategic about timing. Many patients report that the medication’s effects feel strongest 2–3 days after the injection. You may want to plan your dose so that the peak effect aligns with times when you find appetite control most challenging.
For example:
-
If Sunday evenings are your toughest time for cravings, injecting on Friday morning could help.
-
If you struggle midweek, taking your dose on Sunday may mean that the peak effect occurs around Tuesday or Wednesday.
If you experience side effects, your prescriber may recommend adjusting the timing of your dose to help manage them.
