OZEMPIC SUPPLY ISSUES!!! How to take 0.25 mg or 0.5 mg dose of Ozempic from 1mg Ozempic pen device 

Thank you for the feedback and it helps me generate more relevant content

Correct

What about the 0,25mg

@@Moneyisboss 18 clicks will give you 0.25mg if done properly as shown in video

Does tbis mean you can buy a 1mg pen and use it 4x a month instead of buying 4x0.25mg pens ?

Thank you for your feedback. I'm glad it helped

This pen is a marvel of engineering. There will be micro adjustments but give it time.

Yes exactly...

What happens though when you have 1mg leftover? They are good for 56 days (8 weeks), so if someone starts with 0.25 for 4 weeks then moves to 0.5 for 4 weeks thats 8 weeks and only 3mg used leave 1mg to be wasted?

Good luck. No need to increase if response on with low dose

Sadly Mounjaro pen is also going to be downgraded to same technology of Kwikpen globally. They already launched this in UK. I have already made a video on that and am going to release one on demo soon

The pen resets after each injection to 0. So you only need to do each time the same number of clicks, as mentioned in the video eg 18 clicks for 0,25.

@@susanne6938 thank u!

Thank you so much! That was my question also!

Please buy BD insulin needles 4mm size and always use a new needle

Those 4 needles suppose to be enough for the ozempic 1 mg right, example if we want to use it twice we need to use only 2 needles and then we can throw our ozempic and buy the new one?

Best wishes. Ensure you don't exceed the dose and compromise on side effects. Follow simple steps like: Slow eating Smaller food portion More fluid and fibre ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--Se6BN33eew.html

Yes the two clicks for priming the test shot are not coming as dashes so ignore them. You get 0.25mg dose of semaglutide which is initiating dose.

There's nothing wrong with it but 4 pricks in one go are a bit too much I'd suggest. You have to change injection site and use new needle every time. It will also be quite costly to do this way.

Glad it helped

I'm sorry to hear about your difficulties. Yes two doses of 0.25mg will equate to 0.5mg. Unfortunately you will need two pricks for injection

​​@@Endo-Diabetes-Simplifiedthank you for the info.

​@@Endo-Diabetes-SimplifiedI couldn't still get hold of any 0.5mg pen so guess I will just buy the 0.25mg pen and take 2 shots tonight for my initial 0.5mg dose for my second month of using Ozempic which for the first month really helped me in managing my hunger fangs and blood sugar spikes. My random blood sugar tests in the last month yielded a range between 120-150 mg/dl and hopefully the increase in the dosage will yield much lower readings this coming weeks and good results for my next scheduled blood chem in December. Thank you again.

You have done the dose correctly... since the volume is very less so its not noticeable... wait for next three doses and it will become noticeable

I believe you may have taken 0.5mg by taking 36 clicks. This is the calculation 18 clicks = 0.25mg 36 clicks = 0.5mg 72 clicks = 1mg You may bring your pen to clinic and I could check your technique directly to advise

She told you that she has ozempic 0.5 mg pen .. So, if the 0.5 mg pen has 72 clicks .. if she took 36 clicks from 0.5mg pen , then she already took 0.25 mg dose .. This is correct or not ??

I believe it will be 0.5mg pen and not 5mg because this strength doesn't exist... From 0.5mg ozempic pen you need to do 18 clicks to get 0.25mg dose

This has been the off licence method of prescription in times of shortage and COVID and it worked well for the patients ensuring consistency of supply. Usually when patients up titrate the dose after a month, the 1mg pen doesn't last that long Please ensure pen is always in refrigerator if using this way and you always check the fluid in the pen is clear and colorless Always seek your endocrinologist supervision as this is a drug and not a supplement This video is only an educational guide and not medical advice

Hey can I ask you something? There is something I don’t understand. I also have the 1mg pen but I want to start with a 0.25mg dose. How many clicks do I need for that? I just don’t unterstand, how can one 1mg pen last for 4 doses. Is it empty when I reach the 72 clicks the first time? Then it would make sense that I need to count 18 clicks for 0.25mg. BUT it says that one pen has 4 doses… so I need 18 clicks divided by 4 right?😭 I AM SO CONFUSED CAN YOU HELP ME PLEASE :(

@@marwashaghely2840 The 1mg pen is designed to give 4 doses of 1mg if you do the full dial (72 clicks) After 4 doses of 1mg the 1mg pen finishes which means it will last you 1 month to take 4 doses from 1 pen of Ozempic 1mg... each weekly dose will be 1mg of you do the full dial which is 72 clicks When you take 18 clicks each week to take 0.25mg dose then you are taking only 1 fourth of your normally weekly 1mg dose to be taken from this pen... Forget the maths and remember that Ozempic 1mg pen gives four doses of 1mg for each week if you do full dial each time without any click counts... this will last you 1 month Watch my video again on this and in the end I have added the breakdown with click counts

The Ozempic pen you are using should be disposed of (thrown away) after 56 days, even if it still has Ozempic left in it.

It is an absolute MUST for everyone to only use these medications under the supervision of their endocrinologist. Totally agree 100% 👍 ... no medications should ever be taken unsupervised. These videos are only an awareness guide and not medical advice. They don't replace medical consultation under your specialist for individualized medical advice.

I'll try to access a 2mg ozempic... so far I don't have it available here. I have made a video on wegovy 2.4mg instead... you might benefit from that

Please always use a new needle as best practice since the old needle can be contaminated. You can easily attached 4mm size BD insulin pen needles or Novofine insulin pen needles 4mm

As long as the fluid is colorless and not frozen and you are finding the efficacy there and you have not broken the cold chain... meaning kept it in for of your fridge and its not expired

Yes you can. The disadvantage would be injecting twice and doubling the cost

It's best practice to consume the pen within 6 weeks because the efficacy of molecule becomes questionable after 6 weeks. But in real world experience during COVID pandemic and shortages, the pen has been used longer than 6 weeks under close endocrinologist supervision without any problems

I have not yet checked the clicks on 2mg pen device of Ozempic

Yes please keep up the same 18 clicks... You will see the piston change position after 4 weeks as you are using a very small quantity from 1mg pen device (if you are using the 1mg device)

Thank you kindly for getting back to me 🙏 I've taken 2nd dose last night .past two weeks zero side effects but also zero weight loss 😢😢 I was thinking I'm taken incorrectly!!

Why do you want to use 0.5 mg twice? Are you trying to get 1mg dose. If yes then you will be injecting it twice and should use new needle for new injection prick

@@Endo-Diabetes-Simplified yes i want to buy 1 mg, and i saw some ozempic youtube including yours that this come with 4 needles in the package right?so it suppose to be enough and no need to buy separate needles?

You need new needle with each injection. 4 will only be enough if you are using 1mg pen to take 1mg dose

@@Endo-Diabetes-Simplified if i want to use 0.5mg each (from 1 mg), what needle needed for one injection?sorry i am new here i thought for that dose (0.5 mg each) 2 needles are enough then u need to buy new one

@@Sriwijaya888 you cannot buy two needles... it comes as a box of insulin needles 4mm size. Usually boxes can have as many as 25 to 100 needles... but buy the smallest number as you need only 4 more needles if using the 1mg pen to take 0.5mg dose since you will get total of 8 doses

I'm afraid not because of the different pen device autoinjector... I'll release an update on Mounjaro Kwikpen when it's more globally available

Yes ideally 6 weeks the efficacy is best, after that it's a matter of Clinical judgment

I have to check this myself but most novonordisk pens have same mechanisms and clicks. But I haven't got access to 2mg ozempic pen device

Please tell me, if I have 36 clicks, will it stop at half of that dose after the injection?

Yes you count 36 clicks to get 0.5mg dose from the 1mg pen. If the dial didn't go to zero, it could be a faulty pen or you didn't click the button properly

You will have to inject two times

تبدأ بجرعة 0.25 مجم مرة واحدة في الأسبوع ثم تزيد بجرعة 0.5 مجم مرة واحدة أسبوعيًا بعد شهر واحد. يمكنك الاستمرار على نفس الجرعة والاستجابة جيدة في الشهر التالي. يرجى التأكد من إشرافك على طبيب غدد صماء جيد لمساعدتك في علاج الآثار الجانبية وتقييم استجابتك السريرية.

It's best to restart with 0.25mg as you have been off for 3 months. This also ensures that you don't plateau on high dose immediately. Try to get maximum response from minimum dose.

@@Endo-Diabetes-Simplified thank you

18 clicks will get your 0.25mg

Yes it's licenced for weight loss by the name of wegovy but both ozempic and wegovy are exactly the same molecule semaglutide... So the answer to your question is, yes it can be used

18 clicks from 1mg pen mean that 0.25mg once weekly dose. The pen device can last 16 weeks. Always but new insulin pen 4mm needles to be used

18 clicks

@@Endo-Diabetes-Simplified Thank you very much

Always start with low dose of 0.25mg... this is best practice and it's ideal to maintain on the lowest effective dose

​@Endo-Diabetes-Simplified 0.25 everyday?

@@bimbam9603 no... it's weekly... Please have a look at the other video

@@bimbam9603 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2_dTJ6qwlw8.htmlsi=hbnfn4hFuaScj0MG

Who would anyone want rapid up titration? I'd strongly discourage such practice. These are medications and not to be considered a magic wand or supplement. Please try to use the minimal effective dose for maximum benefit. Everyone plateaus at some point and if you rapidly escalate to high dose then you have no room for titration when reach a plateau. Please ensure you are being supervised by your endocrinologist

Yes that's correct. Please ensure the storage is correct and the fluid doesn't get cloudy after 6 weeks. Discard use of the colour of fluid changes or your storage is not correct

Thank you! I'm afraid to take the full 2mg and would like to just do 1.5 mg instead

@@hptjustme if you are first time starter then please start with low dose of 0.25mg. A drug should never be used as a scary supplement. Ensure you also speak to your endocrinologist. Never start on high dose. Go slow, go safe in stepwise way

18 clicks is 0.25mg dose. We normally advise this dose for whole month. Please discuss with your endocrinologist and get your response evaluated in 4 weeks... Medical advice for such drugs must be under supervision of endocrinologists

Yes I am on prescription for this but I have a hard time counting clicks. What I meant to ask is, if I am on 0.25mg dose per week for a month, and I purchased a 1mg pen, I can use it 4 times right? So if I use for the first injection, I will count 18 clicks I understand. But how about for the second use? Will I still count 18 clicks for the second 0.25mg or do I need to click 36? Then 54 for the 3rd time and 72 clicks for the 4th? Or just 18 clicks everytime? Thank you so much for replying

My doctor said I can use 1mg pen multiple times but did not give instructions on how to use by counting clicks

@myradejarlo448 18 clicks will give you 0.25mg dose. You can stay on this dose as long as good clinical response and have clinical assessment every 4 weeks

@myradejarlo448 you will do 18 clicks every time to get 0.25 mg weekly... If dose is increased to 0.5mg after 1 month then you will need 36 clicks This will have to be decided by your endocrinologist

It's the wrong approach and you develop tolerance to high dose this way. Get the maximum benefit with minimum dose. 0.25mg to continue. Ensure you have supervision of your endocrinologist to guide you. I'll try to make a video on this subject as many patients taking the wrong dosing. It's very individualised too

@@Endo-Diabetes-Simplified how can i fix my intake?

@xJK24x stay on 0.25mg for 4 weeks. Ensure you have supervision of a good endocrinologist to give you advice about dosing. Don't just keep going up as you will reach maximum dose with no further options very soon

@@Endo-Diabetes-Simplified ive done 1month with the wrong dosing. Should i just restart and go back to .25mg for 4weeks?

@xJK24x simple advice, aim 3kg weight loss per month and if target achieved then stay on same dose. If you get 30kg in 10 months on smallest dose, you are a winner... Getting off these drugs is another big dilemma as weight comes back

It will have 16 doses... it's preferable to maintain cold chain and ensure your drug isn't discoloured. 6 weeks is official usage but people have used longer without any issues. Please consultant your endocrinologist as this is not medical advice

Ensure you eat small portion of food, eat slowly, hydrate yourself. Take ondansetron preemptively to avoid vomiting. Ondansetron 4mg to 8mg three times daily for today and tomorrow

Should i continue with 0.5mg dose or go back to 0.25mg?

They are different medicines from the same class. Ozempic is Semaglutide which has better data on weight loss while trulicity is dulaglutide (a bigger molecule of GLP-1) with dosages adjusted mainly for diabetes control ....

thanks, i think lol.. going to try this OZempic@@Endo-Diabetes-Simplified

@@daytonpyro both medicines give weight loss but plateau usually happens with trulicity before ozempic due to the dosage potency differences

that is 54 clicks on the 1mg pen to give you 0.75mg dose

72 click is 1mg which is one full dial on the 1mg pen... that pen contains 4 doses of 1mg ... so 1 full dial will not finish the whole pen

@@Endo-Diabetes-Simplified ah thank you !

Four doses of 1mg in ONE pen of 1mg

Same number of click counts... Every 18 clicks adds 0.25mg additional dose... 36 clicks is 0.5mg 72 clicks is 1mg You can check the total clicks on your 2mg pen. It should have 144 clicks

​@@Endo-Diabetes-Simplified Thank you so much. You are a life saver😊.

my 8mg/3ML has only 72 clicks, So I am assuming it is 9 clicks to get a .5mg dose?@@Endo-Diabetes-Simplified

@@sawyermcvey5598 what's the exact name of brand? Is it ozempic or wegovy? 8mg dose isn't present in either of them

​@@Endo-Diabetes-Simplifiedthank you very helpful!

Same as shown in this video... 18 clicks should be half way in 0.5mg pen giving 0.25mg

@@Endo-Diabetes-Simplified thanks

No... starting dose always 0.25mg once a week

@@Endo-Diabetes-SimplifiedThank you. Can I move up to .5 after a week of 0.25mg?

@getmade4126 these are medications and it's best to treat them like the medication It's best practice to follow protocol and have endocrinologist supervision. Don't compare yourself with anyone else? It's your body and you are injecting a chemical in yourself I'd not suggest going on blind up titration Once you get side effects, you get deprived from a very useful medication... Hope that clarifies

Follow the same principle of click counts. It's usually 18 clicks as shown in video even for the 0.5 mg pen

I count on light blue pen for 0.25/0.5 there is 36 clicks from 0 to 0.25 not 18 which is perplexing to me ? Help me understand why the difference

You are most welcome
