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)
