Injection Site Rotation
Varying where injections are given, tracked by logging each site.
Injection site rotation means varying the location of injections over time. Keeping a record of which site was used makes it easy to see patterns at a glance.
When you log a dose in PeptideWiz you can select the injection site; your history and calendar then show where past administrations were recorded.

Frequently asked questions
What is injection site rotation?
Injection site rotation is the practice of varying where each injection is given rather than repeatedly using the same spot. It is commonly discussed in the context of reducing tissue changes such as lipohypertrophy, a topic covered in this NIH review: Lipohypertrophy and site rotation (NIH PMC). PeptideWiz helps you log each site for general education and organization only.
Why does injection site rotation matter?
Repeatedly injecting the same area can contribute to tissue changes such as lipohypertrophy, which is one reason rotating sites is frequently recommended in clinical guidance. The specifics of how to rotate should come from a licensed healthcare provider familiar with your situation. You can read a general overview in this NIH review.
How does PeptideWiz help with site rotation?
PeptideWiz lets you record which site you used each time in your administration log, so you can see your recent pattern at a glance. This is an organizational aid for general education, not a medical instruction to inject in any particular place. Any plan for how to rotate sites should be confirmed with a licensed healthcare provider.
Does the app tell me which site to use next?
No. PeptideWiz displays the sites you have logged so you can keep track of your own history, but it does not prescribe or recommend a next site. Decisions about site selection and rotation are part of injection technique, which belongs to a licensed healthcare provider. The app's role is limited to record-keeping and general education.
What is lipohypertrophy?
Lipohypertrophy is a thickened or lumpy change in the fatty tissue that can develop where injections are given repeatedly in the same area, and it is one reason clinicians discuss rotating sites. Whether any tissue change is present and what to do about it is a medical assessment for a licensed provider. A general reference is available in this NIH review.
