Sharing any injectable drugs with needles among different patients continues to be a risk for transmitting some serious infections like hepatitis, HIV etc. Hence this is a highly discouraged practice among healthcare professionals. Normally, the pen is meant to be used by only one patient to ensure that there is no cross contamination of devices. If a new needle is used every time with an aseptic/clean technique then the fluid inside the pen device is clean. A new needle on same device is theoretically clean method but this practice is still highly discouraged as risk of any infection transmission (hepatitis/HIV/ other STI) is not worth being taken by such practice among unknown patients. Taking out fluid is even a worse option because we don't even know about efficacy of molecule once it is taken out of the air tight glass tube. In simple terms, the answer is "no", I'd highly discourage such practice for Patient's safety

@@mushyzoib696 you can increase it from next week or simply take an extra 0.25mg now

@@Endo-Diabetes-Simplifiedis it ok to take on same day or should i wait for 48 hours ??

@mushyzoib696 you can take it same day or after 3 days to make 0.5mg for this week

@@Endo-Diabetes-Simplified thank u for your time

@AydaAlmuti it's not recommended by company to use pen longer than 6 weeks as efficacy of molecule becomes questionable... please ensure you have supervision of your endocrinologist

@@AydaAlmuti yes it is the new Mounjaro pen device

Thank you

@@taicronck9559 most welcome. Thank you for your feedback

@@mariodonatelli4382 your welcome

Most welcome!

5 mg from a 7.5 mg pen is 40 clicks. Clicks = (dose required/standard pen dose) x 60

@joeflores9097 yes that's true. This is licenced for treatment of type 2 diabetes as well as uncontrolled obesity. It does help reasonable amount of weight loss for those suffering with obesity

@Endo-Diabetes-Simplified oh ok I'm not fat at all I weight 145 pounds that's even going to make me loose more weight

@joeflores9097 this drug is not too be used for slim diabetes patients and can be more dangerous. I'd strongly discourage its use in slim patients of diabetes as you can significantly lose weight. Moreover slim diabetes patients can usually be type 1 diabetes where appropriate evaluation for insulin is required

@Endo-Diabetes-Simplified oh ok thanks for the information are you a doctor

@joeflores9097 yes I'm a consultant endocrinologist, and deal with several such cases daily in my clinic. But this youtube forum is not for patient advice. I only mentioned this to you for your best interest as you raised concern and i felt it was unsafe decision for you. You still need to see an endocrinologist who can evaluate your situation Giving any GLP to a slim diabetes Patient is the wrong clinical judgment. So perhaps you may think about changing your endocrinologist

I realise there’s an expiration date but and it supposed to be used within 30 days but the expiry dates are for next year sometimes

Because big pharma wouldn’t be making loads of money if everyone knew they could do that .

@charlesrary5320 yes you can take 0.5mg injection twice to make a 1mg dose. But you will need two needles and two injections sites. Alternative option is to inject 0.5mg twice in a week in day 1 and day 3 to receive 1mg dose for the while week. Both options are safe but ensure needles are new and sites of injection clean plus injection storage at correct temperature

@@HTHGF-r4t my apologies for repeatedly giving the disappointing reply. I haven't heard anything yet from company

Thank Dr for everything 🙏 ​@@Endo-Diabetes-Simplified

@karenfeldman-oz8208 nothing is lost. You can take 0.25mg as next dose with the next injection. Please see the video again, I have explained this point about duration of pen usage

@@Endo-Diabetes-Simplified I started my .5 pen as .25 but I want to use it as .5 the second week, can I do that or I now have to use my .5 as .25 since I already set it as a .25?

@@Endo-Diabetes-Simplifiedthank you best video out there 👏🏼

Can it be switched back to the .5?

Should I inject twice in one week to make it .5? Or can I reset to the original .5 even though I only injected .25? Sorry if my question is confusing

@@cmgomz2030 18 clicks give 0.25mg dose. This is the lowest starting dose. 0.2mg is not the starting dose

@corinasifuentes1977 you can rotate area on same place like one side of abdomen and then opposite side. It's to ensure good efficacy of drug and not have accumulation at one site

@@kussum69 try twisting the back dial few times and see if it gets loose Your might need to waste a dose as shown in video 😔

@thelittlesthobo7100 yes every time you dose, you dial to the number 1

@@GiftKhabzo yes it's licenced for weight loss... same molecule branded as wegovy

@CrizzysLair yes if you want to inject 0.5 from the 0.25mg pen, you need to inject twice same day or even 0.25mg every 3 days to make almost 0.5mg dose for that week

Thank you so much! I have been looking for this information everywhere and you're the only one who provided em the clear answer! Subscribed! <3

@user-hm1pl2mx9x for which dose ? I believe 2mg ozempic pen also has 72 clicks in total? Correct?

@@Endo-Diabetes-Simplified for .25

@user-hm1pl2mx9x I haven't seen the ozempic 2mg pen device my self but based on available online info, 0.25mg from this device will be administered through 9 clicks as far as I'm aware. It's best you check with your endocrine consultant who can see your device for you and advise

@@Endo-Diabetes-Simplified thank you!

@@mickwander8582 any pharmacy. Get 4mm size BD needles for insulin pen or Novofine needles 4mm or any standard insulin pen needles

@@Endo-Diabetes-Simplified I found it, thanks 👍

@@impudelle you are welcome

@stanceworks7995 the best practice is to keep it stored in fridge... on the door of fridge to maintain temperature of 2 to 8 degrees centigrade... This is best practice

@TFS0096 that's completely Normal because there is more loose tissue on abdominal wall than on top of thigh. You have injected properly if no fluid left in pen and nothing dropped outside like a jet of fluid

@@Endo-Diabetes-Simplified thanks 😅

@@LoveFalmouth best practice is to keep it in fridge as weather is very warm

​@@Endo-Diabetes-Simplifiednot in the uk it isn't. We are told to keep at room temperature after first dose

@@LoveFalmouthhas to be used in 30 days if you keep it at room temperature. Lots of people keep it in the fridge so they can take advantage of the 5th dose, it keeps better.

@GuilhermeSertorio-nx8ei that's correct and one pen will last 8 weeks unless you change dose from 7.5mg to higher or lower

Actually you will have 10 doses. There is a fifth dose as a rest in the pen. Just use e.g. a Diabetes syringe

@@deyaniraospina8699 it's usually 9 clicks. Can you confirm what's the total number of clicks on your device

@@Endo-Diabetes-Simplified 72

@HTHGF-r4t ... no worries. I have requested drug directly from company for 1 patient. Let me see how it goes. If I can arrange for that patient then I'll let you know. Currently as we speak, it's not directly available... What's the age of your son?
