Ozempic injection sites: what the manufacturer says
This page lists where the manufacturer says Ozempic (semaglutide) can be injected in the UK, the EU and the US, in their own words, with the documents each list comes from. It is not medical advice.
Talk to a healthcare professional. The injection areas shown come from the manufacturer's product information, and the heat map is your own record. GLPMGR is not a medical device and this is not medical advice: it can't tell you where it is safe for you to inject. Talk to your doctor, pharmacist or nurse about where and how to inject, follow the instructions from your prescriber and the leaflet supplied with your medicine, and ask a healthcare professional if you are unsure, or if you have pain, lumps, bruising or any other problem at an injection site.
