How to Track a GLP-1 Protocol

What to Log on Every Injection

For each weekly GLP-1 injection: date and time, current dose in mg or mcg, vial lot (if you're tracking reconstitution batches), injection site, and any side effects (nausea, appetite changes, GI symptoms). The injection site log matters more than most users realize — repeated injections at the same abdominal site cause lipodystrophy, which reduces medication absorption inconsistently over time.

For compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide: also log the vial concentration (mg/mL) and the syringe draw units for that week's dose. Concentrations vary by pharmacy and sometimes by batch — logging this context means your dose calculations are verifiable at any point in the future.

Managing Titration in a Tracker

Standard GLP-1 titration increases the dose every 4 weeks. Semaglutide typically progresses from 0.25mg to 0.5mg, 1mg, 1.7mg, and 2.4mg. Tirzepatide from 2.5mg to 5mg, 7.5mg, 10mg, 12.5mg, and 15mg. Protocol's titration schedule feature logs the current dose and shows upcoming dose increases on the calendar view. When titrating compounded forms with variable vial concentrations, the reconstitution calculator automatically recalculates draw units as the dose changes.
