Semaglutide - Does anyone else have a problem with medication leaking out of their injection site?

Posted on 20-Jul-2023 - Last updated: 20-Jul-2023

Today was my fourth Wegovy injection, and 3 out of 4 times the medication ran back out the injection site. I’m a critical care nurse of 40 years experience, and I’ve really not encountered this before. Apparently, it’s a common problem with injection pens, and according to studies by the National Institute of Health it happens 44% of the time! My doctor, nurse practitioner, and pharmacist basically said other than holding the needle in 10 seconds afterwards, there isn’t much you can do about it. Doesn’t matter if I use my leg or abdomen. I’ve lost a little weight, so I must be getting a partial dose, but for what it costs I want to burst into tears watching it run off my skin. Any thoughts or suggestions? I think this drug might actually work for me if I were receiving the entire dose.
