Whenever suits you in terms of having a bit of quiet time to sit down and do it. It doesn't make any difference what time of day. Some people like to do it in the evening before bed, others first thing in the morning...

The full effects of the medication tend to kick in about 8 to 72 hours after the injection, so that might help you make your decision.

You can also change the time of day, and the day itself if you need to.

As soon as you have it and have 5 mins spare, go for it. You can change days and times about once you get into the swing of things.. I couldn't wait to try it.

First few shots make sure you have the paper instructions in front of you and read them whilst doing it, lots of people make silly mistakes cos they didn't read them.

Good luck.

Honestly any time that suits you, I tend to aim for tea time as I suffer with acid reflux and not sure taking it before bed causes more issues with it. But it dosnt really matter whatever works for you x

I'd actually say it depends on your work pattern. I'd take it the afternoon before your equivalent of a weekend starts as more likely get side effects in the next day or two. Ive not had any thus far though but only 3 weeks in to starting.
