How To Take Your Medication
To ensure the effectiveness of your compounded sublingual semaglutide suspension, follow these steps carefully:
- Check Your Dosage – Confirm the prescribed dosing volume (in mL) before administration.
- Draw Up Your Dose
- Insert the oral syringe into the bottle adapter.
- Pull back the syringe plunger to draw up the correct amount of liquid (in mL) as prescribed by your healthcare provider.
- Administer Under the Tongue
- Place the measured dose directly under your tongue.
- Do not swallow immediately. Hold the liquid under your tongue for at least 60 seconds before swallowing.
- Avoid talking while holding the medication under your tongue to ensure proper absorption.
- Post-Dose Care
- Do not eat, drink, or brush your teeth for at least 30 minutes after taking your dose.
- Taking your medication at night after brushing and flossing may help integrate it into your routine.
Storage Instructions
- Store your compounded sublingual semaglutide suspension at room temperature.
- Ensure the bottle is tightly closed when not in use.
- Check the beyond-use-date (BUD) on the bottle. Do not use past this date.
- Keep out of reach of children and pets.
Why Proper Administration Is Important
- The sublingual (under-the-tongue) absorption method allows the medication to enter your bloodstream directly, bypassing the digestive system.
- Swallowing too soon or consuming food or drinks too early can reduce the medication’s absorption.
