Record the date and the injection area and side you actually used. Add a descriptive note if you need more detail, and follow the instructions for your particular medicine and your clinician’s advice.
Keep a history you can understand
A brief record might include the date, medication, prescribed dose and site. If you want to remember a more precise location or a question to raise later, add a note in your own words. You can use a notebook, a calendar or the free printable shot log.
Check the app’s site grid
After you record a shot in GLP-1 Companion, the Shots screen shows six broad areas: left and right stomach, thigh and arm, and when each was last recorded. The app highlights and preselects a least-recently-used area based on your entries. That is an organisational suggestion, not medical advice or a check of whether an area is suitable for you.
When logging, check and change the preselected site so it matches the place you actually used. Only use sites permitted by your medicine’s instructions and your healthcare professional; different products and people can have different instructions.
Prepare for a conversation
If you have a concern about a site or an entry, note the date and your question and speak with your pharmacist or prescriber. The history cannot diagnose a reaction or determine its cause. The app shows the most recent 30 days of shot history for free; Pro adds access to older history and CSV export.
If you missed an entry
Check your own records before adding information. If you cannot remember an exact detail, avoid guessing and make a note of the uncertainty. Do not change your medication schedule based on the app’s site highlight.
