🔄 Site Rotation: Always rotate your injection site between the stomach (2 inches from the navel), outer thigh, or back of the arm to prevent skin irritation.
❄️ Cold Storage: Keep your medication in the refrigerator. It is stable at room temperature for up to 56 days if needed for travel.
⏰ Missed Dose: If you forget a dose, take it within 5 days. If more than 5 days have passed, skip that week and resume on your next scheduled day.
Protecting Your Metabolism
The Clinical Fact: When losing weight rapidly on Semaglutide, up to 39% of that weight loss can come from lean muscle if you do not follow a specific protocol. Losing muscle slows your metabolism and makes it harder to keep the weight off long-term.
-
You must consume 0.8g to 1.0g of protein per pound of your goal weight. Protein is the building block that "shields" your muscle from being burned as fuel.
-
You must perform resistance or weight training 2–3 times per week. Muscle is "use it or lose it." Lifting weights tells your body to keep the muscle and burn the fat.
-
Semaglutide slows your digestion. Stop eating the second you feel "neutral," not when you feel "full." Overeating will lead to severe nausea and bloating.
Your health is our priority. Most side effects are mild and occur only during the dose-increase phase. Below is our clinical guide to managing your journey safely.
Patient Safety & Clinical Risks
Side Effect Matrix (Management Strategies)

Usually a sign of low calories or protein. Ensure you are hitting your "Muscle Shield" goals
2026 Clinical Safety Updates (Must Read)
Birth Control: Semaglutide slows gastric emptying, which may reduce the effectiveness of oral contraceptives. Use a backup barrier method for 4 weeks after any dose increase.
Surgery & Anesthesia: If you have an elective surgery scheduled, you must follow a 24-hour clear fluid diet. Delayed stomach emptying increases the risk of aspiration under anesthesia.
Mental Health: As a psychiatric practice, we monitor mood closely. Contact us immediately if you experience unusual depression or suicidal ideation.
‼️Urgent: Clinical Red Flags‼️
Seek immediate medical attention if you experience:
Severe abdominal pain radiating to your back (Potential Pancreatitis).
Sudden vision changes or dark spots.
Inability to keep any liquids down for more than 12 hours.

"Ozempic Face" is simply rapid fat loss. To prevent a gaunt look, we aim for steady loss (1–2 lbs/week) and use the Muscle Shield protocol to support skin and tissue health.

Focus on Nutrient Density. If you can only eat three bites, make sure those bites are high-quality protein (chicken, egg, Greek yogurt) rather than empty carbs.

Use extreme caution. Alcohol can worsen nausea and increase the risk of low blood sugar. Many patients find their "craving" for alcohol naturally disappears.
