How to keep a Wegovy logbook

A Wegovy logbook in GLPath ties three things to every entry: the date and dose of the shot, the injection site tapped on a body map, and the medication name itself — recorded on that specific log so it stays accurate even if what's in your fridge changes later. Laid out over weeks, that record turns into a dose step-chart next to your weight trend and a side-effect history you didn't have to write from memory.

What happens to your log if your medication changes?

Wegovy and Ozempic share the same active ingredient, semaglutide, and some people move between the two brand names over the course of their treatment. GLPath handles that deliberately: each dose entry keeps the medication it was recorded under, even after you update your current medication in Settings, so a switch doesn't rewrite or blur your past history — it just means the next entry logs under the new name while the old ones stay exactly as they were.

Why track the dose alongside weight rather than separately?

The dose step-chart on your dashboard draws your logged doses as a stepped line — flat while a dose holds, stepping up or down exactly on the date it changed — positioned right next to your weight chart rather than buried in a separate tab. That layout is deliberate: it's the fastest way to notice, on your own, whether a dose step lined up with any shift in your weight trend around the same time. GLPath shows both lines; reading them is up to you. The estimated medication-level curve is a separate Plus feature, and the doses feature page covers what the free dose log includes on its own.

Where does the side-effect pick-list come from?

Selecting Wegovy as your medication sets your side-effect list to the entries documented for semaglutide — the common gastrointestinal items plus injection-site reactions — so logging is a tap rather than typing the same phrase out weekly. Anything not on the list can be added as a private custom term through "Other," and it stays available for future entries. The full log — pick-lists, custom terms, the 90-day chart, and what Plus adds on top — is walked through in the side-effect diary guide.

How does the site you use each week get recorded?

Because the site gets recorded at the exact moment you log the dose, there's no separate log to remember to keep or fall behind on — the same body-map tap that records the shot is the entire mechanism. What builds up behind the scenes, without any extra step on your part, is a site-by-site count you can actually check rather than estimate from memory, however many weeks you've been at this. The injection-site guide covers what that count looks like laid out once you've got a real run of entries.

What's the record good for once you've kept it a while?

Every entry stays exportable exactly as logged — a free CSV with no limit on how far back it goes, and a full-history PDF (the free "Since the beginning" preset) covering the same ground for an appointment; shorter custom-range PDFs are part of Plus. None of it recommends a next step. What it does line up is the timeline: your dose history, weight trend, and the exact date a medication name changed all sit on the same dated record, so the shape of the whole stretch is visible in one place rather than split across whatever separate note kept track of when things changed.
