MyGlowTracking GLP-1 pills vs injections: what's different
Weekly injections
- One dose a week on a set day, so the main risk is forgetting or double-dosing.
- Log the site each time and rotate.
- Track dose-strength changes during step-ups.
Daily injections
Some GLP-1 medications, such as liraglutide, are injected daily. The habit matters more than the day: same time every day, with a daily reminder and a site log.
Daily pills
Oral semaglutide is taken once a day. Its label has specific instructions: take it on an empty stomach with a small amount of plain water, then wait before eating, drinking or taking other medicines. Newer oral options may have their own rules. Follow the label that comes with yours. Useful things to log:
- The time you took it.
- Whether you followed the timing rules (so you and your clinician can spot problems).
Other schedules
Some people are prescribed every-10-day, every-14-day or custom schedules, for example during maintenance. Your tracker should count from your actual last dose, not assume a weekly rhythm.
Switching or pausing
If you switch from an injection to a pill, or pause under your clinician's guidance, keep the history in one place. MyGlow supports pills and injections, weekly, 10-day, 14-day, daily and custom schedules, plus pause and maintenance phases that keep your streak and history.
