    Hello Dr. Gupta. I am a first time Ozempic user and I want to thank you for keeping your tutorial so simple. I was uneasy about it at first but you have helped me to gain the confidence I needed through simple instruction. Once again, I thank you.

    I have used this for 11 weeks. My blood sugar is now down to 100 from 250. The only side effect is occasional indigestion. Be sure to eat smaller meals as this medicine greatly slows your digestion time.

      I also was spooked at giving myself this shot. For an entirely different reason I ended up 3 weeks in the hospital where they gave me a belly injection every day. It was nothing. Didn’t hurt at all. You’re not that sensitive there apparently.

      How many weeks can you use one pen?

    • @Lexi2mee
      @Lexi2mee 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@zuzia3557 Hi Zuz la. I use my pen for 4 weeks which is my prescription use and start over with my new pen when the next four weeks start. It is recommended to discard the one you have used prior. I noticed that there is a spiral crank inside the pen so you won't be able to get medicine from it after the four weeks. However, make sure you consult with your physician.

My doctor told me he has seen alot of people that want this medication for weight loss but he won't subscribe unless you have diabetes

Just stumbled upon your video today and saw I had not been removing the second plastic cap that showed the actual needle I missed that step. I knew something was wrong cause when I would give the injection and remove the pen from the site the med would leak. Thanks again for explaining how to use the pen it was so helpful.

    Thank you for your clear instructions on how to use the Ozempic pen. However, on the box I got today (my first time using it) it states that it must be stored at between 2 and 8ºC, You said it can be stored at room temperature. Is the refrigeration a new requirement? I forgot to ask the pharmacist, but I will definitely be storing it in the fridge. I am in Australia, so it is pretty hot here.
