Why is my OZEMPIC still left in pen device at the end of 4 does?

Some of the patients are finding leftover #ozempic in their own device after completing the 4 dozens from their pen device.
This doesn't mean that their injection technique is wrong or that there is a faulty pen device.
It simply means that they have not done an air shot at the beginning of each dose which is considered standard practice to detect functionality of pen device prior to each injection.
If 4 air shots are not done, then they accumulate together at the end of 4 dozens as a small amount of leftover medication.
This is not equate for a full additional dose and can be discarded.

Some people are using that extra left to prepare body for going up a dose. I just kept pressing mine panicking I didn’t take my shots properly

Do you have to test the pen before each use, if you clearly se the drop forming at the needle without the test?
@Endo-Diabetes-Simplified
@Endo-Diabetes-Simplified 7 дней назад
It's best practice to test pen before each use because these are mechanical devices and can malfunction. If you clearly see the drop coming out while attaching needle, it might be due to air pressure pushing the drop out and doesn't confirm pen functionality. The other feature telling you that pen is working would be the Movement of grey piston in the glass tube but that is very subtle movement in case of small dose

I wasn't pushing the test dosage out but I always click it to that line, and I already see droplets on the tip of the needle, so I turn the dial all the way through the last line of 0.25 mg dosage. Upon completing 4 weeks, my pen is still half full, and I'm supposed to increase now to 0.5 mg per week. Can I still use the remaining dosages in my 0.25 pen and inject 2x to get 0.5 mg? I feel so bad to throw away this expensive insulin.

Please do not throw away your pen of Ozempic as there are four more doses left in it. Please see this videos ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uDkqsjxyiRA.htmlsi=zf_mHvwLV2Fb50Fp

Mine 0.25mg is still half full after I finished all the 4 weeks shots. Can I still use it, it’s like half full of product, can I buy the individual needles and use same pen ?
@Endo-Diabetes-Simplified
@Endo-Diabetes-Simplified 2 месяца назад
Please don't throw it. You still have 4 doses of 0.25mg left in it. You can buy 4mm size BD needles of insulin pen and use them to continue using same pen of Ozempic 0.25mg for another 2 to 4 weeks until it finishes. Ensure its kept on fridge

@NattyPi 2 месяца назад
thats because the instructions for 1st time use is 4 weeks of .25 and 2 weeks of .5....you can either up the dose for 2 more weeks or stay at .25 for 4 more weeks

Hi! I need help. I did my first dose today 0,25 from a 1 mg pen. The problem is, after i selected the dose and injected, the pen still looks full of liquid like theres nothing missing. Do you think it didnt inject anything?
@Endo-Diabetes-Simplified
@Endo-Diabetes-Simplified 6 месяцев назад
It is a very small amount of liquid used when you took 0.25mg... you will see the piston move after 4 doses
@CarinaBenamghar
@CarinaBenamghar 6 месяцев назад
I just did the 3rd dose today, the liquid did move but if i click the pen it still has 73 clicks in it. Normally its supposed to have left for one more dose. Do you think i did the doses incorrectly and it didnt inject? It clicked everytime i injected and went back to 0
@Endo-Diabetes-Simplified
@Endo-Diabetes-Simplified 6 месяцев назад
@@CarinaBenamghar yes you did the doses correct. The number of click will not change until you reach the last dose.... don't worry. Your own has 4 doses of 1mg and you are splitting each 1mg into 0.25mg.... you can imagine the volume being very little... you are doing fine

I did the test shot run and I saw it come out I did four shots of .25 and the thing was in the middle. I got my second pen and the doctor raised it to 0.5 but like I said I still had leftover for my first pen it was halfway through and I got two shots of 0.5 after doing four shots 0.25 did I do something wrong?

I went to take my 4th dose this morning and l noticed the plunger in the pen is stopped half way. Also when I try to screw the needle on the needle will stay stuck to the top and l can't release the needle part to take my injection. I had another needle in the refrigerator in the Ozempic box and tried to use that one and the same thing happened. I don't understand this because l never had a problem until today

This sounds like a faulty pen and needs to be discarded. Please watch out for fake pens being sold and ensure you are using the correct device. Get it checked by your endocrinologist

@@Endo-Diabetes-Simplified, thank you for responding! My general practitioner prescribed Ozempic and the prescription was filled by my pharmacist at Walgreens. I'm getting ready to call them right now about this pen. They are notorious for referring you to the manufacturer if a device is defective. They did this when my inhaler that l used the first time didn't release an Albuterol!

I did the test shot and I saw they come out now they say you do one test shot per pen and like I said before I saw it come out but I actually got six doses out of my Olympic pen. I don’t understand that and I know that you were six needles also, so my question is, how did I get six shots out of one pen?
@Endo-Diabetes-Simplified
@Endo-Diabetes-Simplified 6 месяцев назад
You should not get 6 shots out of the 1mg pen which contains 4 doses of 1mg plus the test shot dose which is less than 0.18mg... If you found the dial going up 6 times till full end rather than 4 times then there's some error in injecting correct dose. Another suggestion is to check whether you have ozempic 1mg pen or 2 mg pen. And please be aware of FAKE pen of something suspicious. Get your pen checked on my next video and show it to your endocrinologist. Check this video for fake pen ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dUWLES3vUp0.html

@@1229vanetta in some locations, you get a pen of Ozempic which has labeling to deliver either 0.25 (half dial) or 0.5mg (full dial) dose from the same pen but it will not be able to give deliver dose higher than 0.5mg. You need separate pen of Ozempic 1mg. The 2mg Ozempic pen is designed to just deliver 2mg dose for times. If used incorrectly then you may have spare dose left.

it's very unlikely to have more than 4 full doses unless you have the pen designed to give both 0.25 and 0.5mg doses. The standard 0.25mg dose pen of Ozempic only gives 4 doses of 0.25mg and doesn't have any further dose ... the last bit left is not full dose but only 0.18mg left as test dose... be aware of FAKE pens of Ozempic
