How do I give a 0.5 mg dose if I have an Ozempic 1 mg pen?

Jeden wstrzykiwacz leku Ozempic zawiera 4 dawki leku po 1 mg (łącznie 4 mg semaglutydu). Fabryczny wstrzykiwacz umożliwia podanie leku w określonej dawce. Producent zaleca, aby w przypadku wstrzykiwacza dla leku Ozempic stosować dawki zgodne z oznaczeniem na opakowaniu. Nie zamieszczono informacji o dawkowaniu mniejszym niż po całej dawce. Jednakże przed aplikacją preparatu ustawia się zadaną wartość dawki (w mg) na wstrzykiwaczu.
Jeżeli ma Pani wstrzykiwacz z lekiem proszę sprawdzić czy można nastawić dawkę na 0,5 mg. Wtedy w jednym wstrzykiwaczu będzie Pani miała 8 dawek po 0,5 mg.

Hello. I have a similar case. The doctor showed me on the esyrzykiwaz how to count the lines to 0.5. I'm supposed to move it by 8 bars. Only tomorrow he will try it out.

You can divide the dose of 1mg into 4 and have 0.25mg per 16 times, including only that after 6 weeks the expiry date expires. I had 0.25 for the first month, it came out 6 times 0.25. In the second month I had 0.5, it was optically identical to 0.25, I could make 4 injections of 0.5 or 8 x 0.25 from it. A 1mg injection is already optically twice as large. The doctor didn't want to prescribe me 1mg from the beginning to divide it because he said it would expire. It's the same drug just different in size. If I bought 1mg at once and divided it, I would save 600 PLN.

Count how many clicks per dose of 1 ml. Divide by 2. And make as many silks as you get. For example, 1 ml needs 74 clicks, and 0.5 ml needs 37 clicks.

Quite simply, 72 clicks when setting correspond to 1mg of active ingredient, so 36 clicks are 0.5mg. I do it that way, because I prefer to inject 2 times a week because my blood pressure drops too far. Sterile needles are available in the pharmacy. The ones for insulin pens fit.

A wonderful good day Antonazzo Rocco my name I have question for you how many clicks do I have to mack at Ozempic 0.5 mg ?

One injection of 1 million is enough for 4 weeks or 4 times. This means that 0.5 will be enough for you for 8 weeks. There are 4 servings in one injection. 72 clicks per 1 serving-1 mlg. For 0.5, you need 36 clicks.

There is a click/dose table

I got 288 for 1 penea, I think it's 72 cliks for 1 mg, x4 weeks = 288
0.5 mg 36cliks 288/36- 8 weeks Those who do not know what ozempic is used for, I recommend not to take part in a discussion such as that it is only a drug for diabetics... because in a moment it may turn out that you will treat yourself with this drug. Ps I'll check on the next pen if it's really different, if the result would be different, I'll write

This ozempic is much more useful for diabetics who are sick than for those who want to lose weight or lose a bone... those who want to lose weight just have to eat less... leave this product to the sick and not to those who find curves... now the sick don't have any more... Is it clever!!

According to my doctor, it takes 37 clicks to have the dose of 0.5 mg.

Ok, how many clicks do I do on 0.5 to be enough for 8 weeks, if a total of 72 clicks in pen?
You write that the 0.5 is 36 clicks-once ???

You have to set 36 clicks. Then the dose of 0.5 will come out.

For 6 weeks you can give 7 doses because the first one is just starting the countdown, i.e. the 7th dose will be taken after 6 weeks

For @MaKu: Physically there are 8 doses in the pen, however, due to the durability of the drug, only 6 of them can be used.

The manufacturer clearly indicates that the pen should be discarded after 6 weeks. So when dividing the drug into 1mg into 0.5 doses, do we actually have 8 doses or 6, because there is no guarantee that the drug in the last two doses is effective. Or is there information somewhere that this deadline can be extended..?

I also include a link to a helpful post where we explain how to give 0.25 mg from a 1 mg pen: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/opinie-i-pytania/56763/victoza-jak-podac-0-25-mg-z-pena-z-lekiem-ozempic-1-mg

In response to the great interest of patients, a non-reimbursed drug Ozempic from parallel imports appeared in pharmacies.
