Hi everyone! Iām new on Ozempic, using it both for type 2 diabetes and weight loss. Next week I will get my fifth injection, and my question is connected to that fact directly.
Actually, I joined the forum especially to ask this question about the Ozempic dosing. I know that Ozempic 1mg pen is typically intended for the administration of four dosages, and it is equipped with a total of four cannulas.
Is it possible that the pen provides at least one more dosage (the fifth)? Because it seems so to me after I used it a few times. After the fourth dose, the viewing window on my pen only reveals half of each of the pistons inside the device. It seems not logical, but I think there still is a med inside. Does it mean that I do something wrong? Or not? I have some doubts because itās my first experience giving injections. If itās a normal situation, should I buy needles on my own and use the rest of the drug in the same pen?
Who has attempted to use a pen for the fifth dose? Will it work?
