Injection site guidance

Injection sites by medicine: what the manufacturers say

Most recently checked against the documents below on 5 October 2026

GLPMGR only offers and draws injection areas that a medicine’s manufacturer lists, using the approved product information for your region. Choose a medicine below for the areas the manufacturer lists in the UK, the EU and the US, any “another person should inject” or belly-button rules, the manufacturer’s rotation wording and the source documents.

Talk to a healthcare professional. The injection areas shown come from the manufacturer's product information, and the shading shows where you've injected before. 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.

How the app uses this

  • Only the areas listed for your medicine, in your region, can be chosen or shown on the body map.
  • Where the manufacturer says another person should inject an area, or to keep a distance from the belly button, the app shows that beside the area.
  • Your injection history only colours the body map to show where you have injected before. It never adds an area, and GLPMGR does not tell you where to inject next.
  • If we don’t hold a verified list for a medicine in your region, GLPMGR doesn’t offer a site. This includes compounded medicines (made up by a pharmacy rather than the manufacturer), which the manufacturer’s instructions don’t cover, and medicines you type in yourself.
  • A medicine named only by its active ingredient gets a list only when every product with that ingredient sold in your region has a verified list and they all give the same rules.
  • Earlier injections recorded at other sites, such as the glutes, stay in your history but are not shown on the map.

Which documents

The United Kingdom lists come from each manufacturer’s approved leaflet, as published by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), the UK’s medicines regulator. The European Union lists come from the European Medicines Agency (EMA) product information. The United States lists come from labels approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), published on DailyMed. What these names mean. The rules can differ between regions, so GLPMGR uses only the region you choose in Settings, or your device’s region. Where a region’s document has not been checked yet, or is being re-checked because it changed, it says so on the medicine’s page and no sites are offered. Every list is checked again against its source regularly, and GLPMGR stops using any list that has not been re-checked in over a year.

All sources

Every document these lists were taken from or checked against, by region. Documents marked “also consulted” were read and agree with the list, but the list follows the first document for each medicine.

United Kingdom

European Union

United States

Documents are the manufacturers’ or regulators’ own. They are fixed files or pages that the manufacturer or regulator can change, so always check the leaflet supplied with your medicine.
