Where to inject

[dcadmamagain]

Hi I’m thinking of starting Mountjaro. Where have people found the best place to inject into your body is to minimise issues?’

I have only ever injected into my tummy. I alternate sides each week. No issues.

Any of the three sites that are described in the patient information leaflet. So stomach, thigh and back of the upper arm. I have always done stomach, as it’s the largest and closest target! I have never had any issues with injecting in 18 months plus of doing so.

I stick to my tummy. I tried my thigh once but it was a bit too ouchy.

Only ever injected in my thighs, alternating each week.

Always injected into my thighs. Very easy and no issues.

Only ever done stomach just move around it,

I did my tummy every time. 0 side effects or pain. I don’t believe injection site actually has any impact on results… mostly because it wouldn’t make sense considering how subcutaneous medications work on a biomolecular level.

i did stomach for the first month or two and then did my arm. When I went back to the stomach, it did NOTHING.
in theory there’s no difference, but I can only say that for me, the arm works much better than stomach for me. I haven’t tried the thigh yet though.

Coming up for 2 years on MJ maintenance for 10 months. Always inject in stomach never had any issues or side effects . Lost 7st 10lbs

I’ve only ever used my stomach, it’s big enough, easy to see and part of it is numb after 2 EMCS.

Always tummy for me, alternating sides and spots. It’s easy as can be. I don’t have side effects except constipation and also don’t believe injection site makes a difference.
