Hopefully, the MHRAs study will provide some needed insight on this possible side effect, including whether some people are more at risk for it than others.
For weight management (Wegovy), the titration schedule is more gradual, starting at 0.25 mg weekly and increasing monthly (0.25 mg, 0.5 mg, 1.0 mg, 1.7 mg) up to a maintenance dose of 2.4 mg weekly, to minimise gastrointestinal side effects
Additionally, 37% of Wegovy users saw improvements in fibrosis (scarring)
Additional mistakes to avoid: Injecting through clothing rather than directly into clean, exposed skin Failing to rotate injection sites adequately, leading to lipohypertrophy Injecting cold medication directly from the refrigerator (if product IFU recommends warming) Removing the needle too quickly before the full dose is delivered Rubbing the injection site vigorously after injection Disposing of needles in regular trash rather than FDA-approved sharps containers Improper storage of medications is another significant concern
But this isn't automatic
