You can take your GLP-1 injection at any time of day, with or without food — but it should be on the same day each week.
Most members pick a day that suits their routine and stick with it. For example, Sunday evenings work well for many people — you're settled at home, and if any mild side effects appear they're usually gone before the work week starts.
If you need to change your injection day
You can shift your injection day, as long as your last dose was at least 3 days (72 hours) ago. After switching, continue weekly on the new day.
If you've missed your dose
See our article on missed doses for guidance — the short version is: if it's within 5 days of your usual day, take it as soon as you remember; if it's more than 5 days late, skip it and take your next dose on your usual day.
