Insulin syringes measure in "units" rather than milliliters. 100 units = 1 mL. Your dosage chart will specify how many units to draw based on your medication's concentration.
Most peptides are injected subcutaneously (under the skin) in areas with pinchable fat: abdomen (avoiding 2 inches around the navel), outer thigh, or back of the upper arm. Rotate injection sites to prevent tissue irritation.
Timing varies by medication. Check your specific medication page for recommendations. Some peptides work best in the morning, others before bed, and some need to be taken while fasting.
