Tracking guides by medicine
Every good medicine log records the same core facts: the date and time, the product exactly as labelled, the amount you were told to take, the site, the vial or pen it came from, and anything you noticed afterwards. What changes from one medicine to the next is the detail around it, such as pen in-use limits, tablet timing or regulatory status. These pages cover that detail for five medicines and peptides people ask about, with sources for every fact.
FDA-approved medicines
These have a US prescribing label, so the pages quote the label for storage, in-use dates and half-life.
- How to track semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy, Rybelsus)Weekly Ozempic and Wegovy injections or daily tablets: what to log, pen in-use dates and label facts.
- How to track tirzepatide (Mounjaro, Zepbound)Weekly Mounjaro and Zepbound shots: pen, KwikPen or vial details, room-temperature days and label facts.
Investigational (clinical trials)
No FDA approval and no label. The page is for trial participants keeping a personal record.
Not FDA-approved
No label exists. The pages lead with what FDA has published, with dates, and say plainly what is not known.
What every page includes
- What to log each time, as a table of fields with the reason for each.
- A status box: the label status for approved medicines, or what FDA has published for the others, with the date we checked.
- Vial arithmetic where it applies, with the dose field left empty for the amount your prescriber gave you.
- Storage and half-life, quoted from the label, or a plain statement that no labelled value exists.
- What to record about side effects, and the red flags that need a clinician.
- A free log template as CSV and as a printable sheet.
None of the pages recommend a medicine, a dose, a schedule or a source. They are about keeping an accurate record for you and the people treating you.
Printable templates
The same records on paper: the peptide log sheet (dose log, vial record and weekly journal), the peptide schedule template (schedule table and weekly tick-off grid), the GLP-1 tracker template (weekly dose, weight, side effects and pen dates) and the injection tracker template (site log, body map legend and rotation grid). For a spreadsheet with formulas, see the peptide tracker spreadsheet.
If you would rather use an app, PeptideMate's GLP-1 shot tracker and the free online peptide tracker keep all of this in one place.
Questions about tracking by medicine
Which medicines and peptides have a tracking page?
Semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy, Rybelsus), tirzepatide (Mounjaro, Zepbound), retatrutide, BPC-157 and TB-500. Each page lists what to record, the regulatory or label status with sources, storage and half-life facts where a label exists, and a free log template.
Do these pages tell me what dose to take?
No. They are about record keeping. The amount, the schedule and any change to either come from your prescriber, the product label or, in a clinical trial, the study team. The calculators on these pages leave the dose field empty for you to fill in.
Why do some pages say there is no labelled half-life?
A half-life on these pages is only quoted from an FDA-approved prescribing label. Retatrutide, BPC-157 and TB-500 have no FDA-approved label, so the pages say so instead of repeating figures from other websites.
Can I track a medicine that is not listed here?
Yes. PeptideMate, the web app and the printable templates work for any medicine or peptide: you type the name exactly as it appears on your label. The pages here cover the ones people ask about most.
