Dr Watkins describes in detail how to use your Ozempic pen for your medication injections.

Thank you for being the only person on the globe to simply and clearly warn that it’s a multi-use pen

@sebas_ruel 2 месяца назад

Since you had already took a first dose with this pen video example, you should mention that when the multi-dose pen is new, after installing needle #1, turn the dial just after zero (where a dotted line is shown), then hold the pen with needle pointing up, and press the injection button to confirm a drop of med comes out of the needle. Need only to be done once with each new multi-dose pen.

She said once you take it out of refridgeration, it's still good for up to 8 weeks. So just don't take it out of the fridge until you're ready to use it the first time. After that it's one shot a week so it's only six weeks to use them all anyway.

@watkinsmetabolic Год назад

Sorry to hear that you had trouble. Unfortunately, I can't give you medical advice via RU-vid and you should check with your prescribing physician. It's not uncommon for people to have the same trouble and it could be a result of not holding down the button long enough or it could be as a result of the pen being jammed. The tricky part is that you really can't be sure how much medication was actually delivered today...

Very good instructions! But, why do they only give us 6 pins and not 8 or at least let us buy 2 more for those of use that are on .25 that will need 8 pins?

@greatunz67 Год назад

The pen is pre-filled to the exact amount your presciption needs, nothing less, nothing more. When you are on the .25 dose, most prescriptions call for you to up that to .50 after 4 weeks. So it's 4 pins at .25, then your last two needles are .50, thus needing only six tips.

@usasupra23 Год назад

@@greatunz67 this is what I needed to know and the pharmacy not dr explain any of this!!!

@MarkLikont 2 месяца назад

There is a question about dosage. Pen: 0.25 mg. The volume is indicated on the pen itself: 1.5 ml. The pen is designed for 4 injections (4 needles in the set). At the same time, the maximum division when scrolling the pen is 0.25 mg. So after using 4 doses of 0.25 mg there is still 0.5ml left in the pen with no more needles? I was looking for information on this topic, I saw message that you should take: 0.25mg 2 times, and 0.5mg the next 2 times. Is that correct? And if so, the problem: the maximum division on the pen is 0,25 mg. So it turns out it's twice to be injected in one go? P.S. Sorry for my English.

@watkinsmetabolic 2 месяца назад

@@MarkLikont Actually, the low dose pen can dialed in to deliver either a 0.25 mg or 0.5 mg dose. There is 2 mg total in the 1.5 ml pen and each ml contains 1.34 mg of semaglutide. So 1.5 ml x 1.34 mg = 2 mg total in the pen. It comes with 6 needles. Your first pen can deliver 4 doses at 0.25 mg and 2 doses at 0.5 mg. The recommended dosing titration is 4 weeks at 0.25 mg, then 4 weeks at 0.5 mg before increasing to 1 mg. Hope that helps!

Each time you inject using your pen, it resets to zero so that it's prepared for the next dose. You dial from zero each time and the pen injects the dose selected for that injection. If there isn't enough medicine left in the pen for a full dose, you won't be able to turn the dial beyond the amount remaining inside the pen.

Do I need to prime the pen every week? Or just before the first time ever?

@watkinsmetabolic 6 месяцев назад

Just the first time you use a new pen

@meshiamae 10 месяцев назад

Thanks so much. I just completed my 1st box of 6 injections 4 injections were 0.25 and the last 2 injections were 0.5 mg. Should I start my next box at the higher 0.25 and stay at that mg forever now..? Appreciate your help and very helpful video. Thank you.

@watkinsmetabolic 10 месяцев назад

While I can't give you specific medical advice via social media, most people stay at .5 for four weeks but it should always tailored for the specific patient. I suggest reaching out to your prescribing physician for specific advice. 🙂

I have 2mg yellow pen for the first time. The dial went back to zero, but I don't see the gray plunger. The pen still looks full. Please advise.

@watkinsmetabolic 6 месяцев назад

Wow that is great that you were able to get the 2 mg yellow pen! It is normal not to see the plunger move with the first injection :)

Could you show this with a larger dose? I just want to see how long it takes for it to go back to 0.

@watkinsmetabolic Год назад

Good suggestion! I'll post a video soon with the 0.5 mg dose

@lazydaisydays Год назад

@@watkinsmetabolic thank you! 1mg would help-I was really afraid to use it, because it seemed like maybe it was too much. What if I would’ve overdosed on accident? But to have a visual of how long it takes would be so helpful. I can’t get in touch with the doctors. The company leaves me on hold.

@watkinsmetabolic Год назад

The 1mg pen does not go higher than a metered dose of 1 mg, so you cannot inject too much if that is the prescribed dose.
