LDP : How to use the Ozempic pre filled pen for injection 

Thank you thank you thank you. I got ZERO direction from my physician or the pharmacy. In fact, the pharmacy didn't even tell me it needed to be refrigerated. I had so many questions. This was very helpful. You are much appreciated.

I received my Ozempic almost 3 weeks ago. I have been very hesitant about taking it. I looked at the pen but I did not know what to do. I finally contacted the pharmacist for instructions even though it was on the box.The pharmacist stated that she could show me how to use the Ozempic. I could not go due to some physical complications. I contacted my nephew who brought me to this you tube video. This video was exactly what I needed.

Best directions so far

Best detailed instructions for this injection I've found! Thank you so much!

Most efficient video on RU-vid ever. Thank you madam.

Oh thank you! This is perfect. It’s so good to see it used with an actual pen and not just diagrams.

This was SO helpful. I am about to take my first dose, and I'm VERY anxious about it. I've never given myself any kind of shot before.

Thank you so much. Starting this med tonight and this demonstration is exactly what I needed. It helped me take my 1st dose which I was kinda scared about the needle.

Thanks! Yours was the most comprehensive video I've seen. Ready for my first shot!

Thank you so much for this, I was freaking out about the pen and how it’s used. This video explained perfectly how everything is done. Ps. I have a fear of needles and I’m happy to report that there was no pain.

Thank you. It's been over three months since I took ozempic and this was exactly the reminder I needed to take it properly.

Thank you! I had no instructions and the ones in the box weren’t clear. Your video was perfect! Thanks again!

Thank you! Excellent instructions. I was nervous about using this new drug but after watching the video it was so easy to use.

Very much appreciate your excellent demonstration. It gave me the confidence I needed to perform my first injection.

Thanks. I needed a simple straight to the point review of how. Thanks for being simple

Vicky, I am writing from Phoenix, Arizona, USA to thank you for this video. Watching this and your calm demeanor helped me to take my Ozempic medicine. You are a peach. BTW I love your Scouse accent. Merry Christmas! P.J. Stewart.

Great video! Concise and well explained. 👏

This is my go to ‘how to’ ozempic video every week.

Thank you! So much better than the official guide.

Thank you for a very clear introduction. Much appreciated.

This was very helpful. just took my first dose today

Thank you for this video! It was much clearer to understand then what the doctor showed me!!

My doctor put me on this with no instructions and I have a fear of needles. Your video put me at ease enough to actually not look and get it done. Thsnk you so so much.

Thank you for complete instruction. Informative and easy.

Great video. On my second injection this week. Did my first one last week and watched your video. I have done it into my stomach, but thinking I'll try my thigh next week

Thank you so much. I had no clue how it was used!! Great presentation!

Thank you. This instructional video was very helpful. 🙏🏾

Hello, from San Francisco! And thanks so much for the quick, clear, information.

So helpful! I played video as I did my injection! I know what to do, but it is nice to know I’m doing it correctly!

This video was very helpful. Thank you.

Brilliant instructor!

Ma’am, this is the most helpful video. Thank you. You should probably do a series on different things to simplify it for the American public cause sometimes things are not as hard as we think.❤❤❤

Thanks for sharing your video. Prior to yours , the other video that I'd watched didn't go in detail as you did via priming the set for the 1st time usage. 😉👍🏿💯

Thanks so much for the video commentary. Now I can do this Much appreciation

I just followed these directions and did my first dose today. It stung for a few seconds but nothing I couldn't handle. I plan on staying home today to see if I experience any side effects. Thank you for this video!

I have the best dr. When she prescribed me this, I got it the same day and she told me to see her so we can do my 1st shot. She had a full schedule the next day but still squeezed me in. She showed me how, step by step. 😊😊😊

Wow that was supper clear ! Thank you!

Thank you for sharing I really don't like needles but following your instructions was not so bad and it didn't hurt at all.

Thank you so much for the great video.

Thanks very helpful

thank you excellent instructions

Thank you so much very clear instructions 🙏🏽

Very helpful for me, too. Thank you!

thank you. this was very helpful

Thank you very much! Like others i had no directions given to me.

Very helpful so thank you very much

I tried with the small cap on (no plunger ) for practice, thank you for the tutorial

Thank you. Your video was very helpful . I found the paper instructions in the box a bit confusing.

Excellent Explanation. Do you have a VIDEO for FreeStyle Libre2 to check the sugar?

Thank you so much for this video. My doctor gave me no instructions whatsoever, and when I asked my pharmacist how to use this, she simply said instructions are in the box and that it is easy to use. It almost seemed as if she couldn't be bothered to actually do her job! I was scared, and even checking Ozempic's website offered no further instructions. I put off my first dose for a week before I found this video. I just took my first dose. Your video gives me some comfort that I might have done it right. One thing, though, The Ozempic website and packaging says you shoule NOT cover the dosage indicator with your fingers when injecting, as that could affect the amount of medicine you receive.

😊Thank You! You helped remove my Fear! God Bless!❤

Thank you, very well explained, Nurses are the best ;-)

Thank you so much I didnt know that there was 3 more doses in the needle I wasted 2 needles because my physician did not tell me how many doses left in it. Thank you again

Thank you so much!

Thankyou well explained

Thank you!

Thank you for this. About to start ozempic this week. My query is do we need to prime the needle everytime we use it? Or only once even if we replace the needles. Thank you

Really helpful

Thank you ☺️

Thanks a lot

Thank you 😊

This cleared up the confusion I had when I looked at the Quick Guide on the box. It needs to be re-done. Turning to the Flow Check Symbol ( .. _) is a very small turn. I saw a very small dose/bubble and assumed it was primed, it was not and I wasted a week to administer the second (really the first dose). Never having given myself an injection, I thought the tine pin mark I saw was a success, and, of course it wasn't. Even the well intention-ed arrow, as drawn, could be construed as turning either clockwise or counter clockwise. Removing the needle after the dose was not clear, it did not indicate the large outer cover was the only one to simply pull it off (I tried to piggy-back the inner cover and the out cover, and it wasn't working ... I even stuck myself). For a first time, nervous user, like myself, the instructions failed. Come on Novo Norodisk, you have the current medication Golden Goose, spend some money on technical writing, and illustration. A fail.

Thank you so much!!

Just tried it for the first time..I've never used self injection before..I felt no pain at all was easy

I didn't prime the pin in my first dose, will be a problem for the second, should I prime that second dose also?

Love your you tube- is there a reason alcohol is not used on the skin prior to injection? Thank you

thank you so much for this video. I wish I had seen it first before trying and not getting it correct. I still wonder though if it needs primed every time?

So do we still hold the botton after the click while you hold it into the skin for 10 seconds???

I have just got mine today, but i eaten not long ago, can I still take this now or is it best in an empty stomach

So the first time you prime the pen.... but for the last 3 shots, you only need to - collect the 0,25 mark? no priming?

Cheers for this. It was quite informative.. The only thing that would make it better would be if you had looked at the camera and not the video as you were recording. So many people do that and I don't think they realise how it looks to the viewer

I’m worried about side effects. Am I likely to get low glucose readings? Do most people get nausea and /or vomiting?

Thank you. The ozempic website doesn’t have as detailed instructions as your video.

I’m not diabetic but it’s helping so much with my weightless

super danke !!!

I got 6 needles. I did lose 16 pounds. I had a gall bladder problem and had an ERCP

I recommend everyone watch several videos on this before you apply your ozempic, since many explain to use differently.

How do i know if it actually went in? I have a little bit of blood near the injection site. Is that Normal?

thank you - just sent it to a patient

When i prime mine it shoots out a bit of ozempic. Not just a drop but a bit more. Is this normal?

I put it on the two dots to prep it but I noticed it squirted not just a tip drop 🥺 so does that mean I wasted my dose ?

Do I have to keep it in the fridge all the time ?

Does one prime each time, or only the first time?

So I don’t need to prime after the first use correct?

So the needle is exposed prior to injection?

Can l take ozempic without having diabetics?

Thanks for this. I was lost into where the needle was haha

do you have to store it in the fridge,i have heard loads of stories so i stored mine in their,but tonight my second dose i took it out 20 mins before i injected and it hurt

You can do upper arms, too

Hello do you have to prime it every time you use it or just one time? Where do you get a disposal box for needles from?

Can you inject near a scar or will that affect how the medication is distributed?

This is a crazy question, but here goes I put my own in the refrigerator, does it need to warm up before injecting? 😊 Thanks

Do you put the pen back in the fridge ?

What if i didn't hold the button dwn while counting til 6?

Exactly

Do you have to wipe the needle or body with alcohol?

Do i have to prime the pen every time i inject ?

What does it mean if it didn't return to zero, but a dash instead?

Can you pinch the skin at injection point ?

In other videos, they stress that you should not cover the dosage indicator window while you inject. Not a big deal, u like to see it move to zero, but I wonder which way is correct.
