Injection temperature

Do you take your shot straight out of the fridge or do you let it warm up? Does it matter?

I take it out of the fridge and fill the syringe. And I let the syringe warm up.That way is supposed to sting less.

@member Lange I do the same 😊

I’ve done both where I have done it straight from the fridge (was in a hurry) or waited 15-25 minutes. Did not notice a difference

I allow mine to sit out for little bit

The only one I let sit out is glutathione. Otherwise, it doesn’t sit out for more than 5-10 mins at most, while I get my coffee concoction.

Thanks everyone. I took my first shot straight out of the fridge this morning and didn't feel a thing.

I have never noticed any difference with my tirzepatide injection, but glutathione is a very different beast. For the glutathione, I draw it up and let the syringe sit out for about 15 minutes before injecting. That way it stings less.

I also vote for letting it sit out for a few minutes.

I draw it up and then wait 25-30 minutes before injecting.

I personally do my injections straight out of the refrigerator, but some people say that they don’t feel the injection when they let medication get to room temperature

I just started on the terzepotide one week ago, no side effects so far I'm feeling great. I just added an order of the peptide, tesamorelin and that is under doctor review. Here's my question, and I'm sure I'll get instructions when/if approved, does everyone take both shots at the same time or do you do one and then wait some hours and do the other? Any experiences you can share or tips?

@member tesamorelin is actually prescribed at night after a few hours of your last meal! I take my tirz about 6/7pm and then tesa around 10pm

Thank you!
- Belle member
I take my Tirzepatide in the morning and tesamorelin like Olivia at night right before bed.
