Set Up Your Protocol ​

Your medication protocol tells GLPea what you're taking and when. This information powers your dose reminders, countdown timer, and progress tracking.

Protocol Setup

What You'll Need ​

Before starting, have this information ready:

  • Your medication name (Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, or Zepbound)
  • Your current dose (e.g., 0.25mg, 0.5mg, 1mg)
  • Your injection day (the day of the week you inject)
