How to keep a GLP-1 shot log
A GLP-1 shot log keeps the scheduled day, the actual administration, and the dose you recorded in one place. For prescribed semaglutide or tirzepatide, a consistent record makes your history easier to review with your clinician.
Record the event, not just the reminder
A recurring calendar reminder tells you what was planned. Your log should tell you what happened. Record the actual date and time, the medicine name, the administered amount with its unit, and the injection site you used. Add a short note when there is something you want to discuss later.
Keep the prescribed schedule separate from completed entries. When a reminder appears, check your instructions and record the administration only after it happens. A dismissed notification is not a completed shot.
Keep a dated history of prescribed changes
If your clinician changes your plan, record when the new instructions start. Keep earlier entries as they were so the record reflects the dose at that time. A current plan and a historical log answer different questions.
Do not use an app’s calendar, a streak, or an online titration table to decide when to change your dose. For product-specific administration and missed-dose instructions, consult your prescription and the patient information for semaglutide injection or tirzepatide injection.
Keep medication amounts and syringe markings distinct
Copy units exactly from the instructions you have confirmed with your pharmacy. The FDA has reported errors involving confusion between mg, mL, and syringe units in compounded semaglutide. See the FDA dosing-error alert. An old vial’s recorded syringe amount should not be treated as instructions for a new vial.
Write observations you can revisit
A dated note such as “question for pharmacist about the new label” is more useful than trying to reconstruct the issue weeks later. Describe observations in your own words and distinguish them from a diagnosis. Your log is a place to preserve information for a conversation, not to interpret symptoms or decide treatment.
