OZEMPIC SUPPLY ISSUES!!! How to take 0.25 mg or 0.5 mg dose of Ozempic from 1mg Ozempic pen device
ฝัง

- Due to supply constraints, some diabetes patients are not being able to resource their correct Ozempic dose pen device of 0.25mg or 0.5mg. So this video explains how to administer lower dose of Ozempic (0.25mg or 0.5mg) from a 1mg Ozempic pen device.

Man, finally someone who properly showed it, THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
@@impudelle you are welcome
starting on Sunday, pharmacist explanation a little confusing, this video cleared it all up great! feeling informed
@kevinpatrickcarey3741 thank you for feedback. This helps me decide how much detail to add. Sometimes, I'm thinking to shorten videos further but I guess for better understanding of first time users the details are still needed
@@Endo-Diabetes-Simplified Very most definitely, your video is really very helpful. I checked them all. I’m living in Amsterdam, the Netherlands and even the pharmacists didn’t know what to do, we have no 0.25 since months!
Ty sooooo much!!!! Your video is the only one that clearly shows how to work this weird pen!!!! It’s so confusing and it’s hard to believe this company made this crazy confusing pen!!! Like why? This is so confusing and hard for people who have poor eyesight!!!
Thank you for your feedback. I'm glad it helped
This pen is a marvel of engineering. There will be micro adjustments but give it time.
Your video was exactly what I needed. Thank you for being so clear and descriptive.
Thank you for the feedback and it helps me generate more relevant content

Tres tres clair c'est ce que je recherchais car je n ai pas trouve le bic de 0.25 mg mais le 1 mg
Your video save my money , thank you 🙏
I can't thank you enough, My .25 pen just spins and won't reset, luckily I have my .5 pen for next month, did 18 clicks so am good. Best video ever! Thank you.
Thanx so much , I can’t tell you how extremely helpful this was
My pleasure. Thank you for feedback
The best explanation I have seen so. Thank you.
Thank you for your feedback. I'm glad it helped
Thank you so much for the informative video/tutorial. I have just been prescribed ozempic for prediabetes medication and I am so happy that I found your video first before having my 1st 0.25mg dose. I was prescribed 0.25mg for the 1st 4wks and then gradually increase to 0.5mg after the 1st week. But unfortunately, all pharmacies in my area didn't have the 0.5mg variant, and I was only able to buy (2pcs) 1mg pen. Glad I found your video!
Thank you too for the prompt responses. All questions in mind have been answered by just reading all the prior Q&A from the others. God bless you! 🎉
@mcroscodp5452 I'm pleased to know it helped. Thank you for your feedback. You should never escalate to high doses unnecessarily.
Please ensure you have supervision of your endocrinologist for safety
Thank you! The pharmacist gave me a 1mg dose pen instead of the 0.5mg one and did not explain how to use it for lower doses.
From 1mg : 0,25 mg achieved after 18 clicks , 0,5 mg after 36 clicks
Correct
What about the 0,25mg
@@Moneyisboss 18 clicks will give you 0.25mg if done properly as shown in video
Does tbis mean you can buy a 1mg pen and use it 4x a month instead of buying 4x0.25mg pens ?
@@Endo-Diabetes-Simplifiedhi ,,i have 1mg osempic pin ,,can i use 0.5 mg from it by 36 clicks??

@@marietheresemya8530 thank you for the feedback
Thank you!! The most simple and easy way to understand how to used it as a first timer. After the first dose of 0.25 injection, how many clicks should be turned for the next shot? ( Since i've used 0.25 out of of I ) Thank you so much
The pen resets after each injection to 0. So you only need to do each time the same number of clicks, as mentioned in the video eg 18 clicks for 0,25.
@@susanne6938 thank u!
Thank you so much! That was my question also!
Great video . I am about to start my Ozempic and glad I have watched this prior.
My question is, if I am raking 0.25mg using 1mg pen, how much dose would I get and how this will last me?
Thanx so much too, I can´t tell you how extremely helpful this was
Thank you for feedback. I'm glad it helped. Watched out for some upcoming useful info videos next month
It’s a 4 x 1 mg pen. So 16 doses 0.25mg
Yes exactly...
What happens though when you have 1mg leftover? They are good for 56 days (8 weeks), so if someone starts with 0.25 for 4 weeks then moves to 0.5 for 4 weeks thats 8 weeks and only 3mg used leave 1mg to be wasted?
@@kaseyfox4000honestly it’s good longer than 56 days

Thank you for explaining Ozempic doses. How about the needles. It comes with only 4 needles. Can we buy needles separately or can we use the same needle more than one time...
Please buy BD insulin needles 4mm size and always use a new needle
Those 4 needles suppose to be enough for the ozempic 1 mg right, example if we want to use it twice we need to use only 2 needles and then we can throw our ozempic and buy the new one?
@@Sriwijaya888 No, you get 4 needles for 4 shots. You take a 1mg shot every week for 4 weeks, and then you use a new pen. I hope you know 1mg is the top dose. Most people start on lower doses. You might not need this info now but maybe someone else will get the picture.
Cool.I love it.Exact and the information given
@@andreab.6802 thank you for your feedback
Thank you so much.
Thank you for your feedback
THANK YOU! I was so confused! I knew I was overthinking! 😂
I wish I seen this video last week on my first shot.
I have the one pen of 1 mg I kept turning nonstop then I just injected myself. So hopefully next week I’ll just click all the way to the end for my next 1 mg. 🤦🏾♀️
But on the bright side, I weighed myself before I started. I swear I’ve already lost 2 pounds. 🤷🏾♀️
And I’m eating healthy and drinking a lot of water .
Best wishes. Ensure you don't exceed the dose and compromise on side effects. Follow simple steps like:
Slow eating
Smaller food portion
More fluid and fibre

Having severe diarhhea and vomiting on .5 dosage no urge to eat anything what to do now sipping some water is also causing diarhhea
Thank you really informative and well explained. However if you want to divide a 1 mg pen into 8, .5 mgs over 8 weeks, you can't as a pen once opened must be used within 30 days, what's the alternative.
The Ozempic pen you are using should be disposed of (thrown away) after 56 days, even if it still has Ozempic left in it.
Hello, I'm so glad I found your video. I'm new to this. I have 1mg pen and need to do .25 for 4 weeks and I've watched your video so many times that I've confused myself 😮
After I do my first injection at 18 clicks, the pen goes back to zero. So when I do the second injection, do I click to 18 or 36? And then the third injection, do I click to 18 or to 54?
And the 4th injection, do I click to 18 or to 72 (1mg)?
I hope this makes sense... I do hope you see my comment as it is one year after this video was uploaded 😊
@marymaliaroudakis4886 please do 18 clicks each time on 1mg pen device to get the 0.25mg dose. You will need to take 0.25mg each week. When you press the button it resets to zero after giving you the dose.
You will do 18 click each time to get 0.25mg dose
@Endo-Diabetes-Simplified Thank you so much!
Excellent!
Muchas gracias estaba tan confundida porque tengo la de 1mg y no sabia como aplicar 0.25 , lo mas confuso es que la caja viene con 4 agujas
Porque no se supone que la usemos asi pero dividiendolo como El hace nos da para Mas dosis al ser de 1 mg lo cual nos va ha durar para 8 dosis.
Como lo hacen si les faltan agujas?
Cómo lo haces si te faltan las agujas?
Rite, an I'm still not getting it, not sure if I'm getting my shot I don't feel a prick an my click turns so fast rite back to 0, not understanding, I'm so ready to be started
PLEASE ANSWER THIS
How many times a single needle can be used? Because i only have 4 needles and I took a dose of 0.25 mg from 1 mg pen
Please always use a new needle as best practice since the old needle can be contaminated.
You can easily attached 4mm size BD insulin pen needles or Novofine insulin pen needles 4mm

@ciarasoze7877 it's better to count from the first mark as shown in video and not from the 0 mark because you will under dose slightly. These are off label methods of taking the drug and were devised during drug shortage and COVID times.

Hello! I have a question: is it possible to start the treatment with let's say 0.15 mg at first by rotating as much as it is necessary?
I want to make my body used to it, to avoid the side effects. Thank you.
Trust me I was afraid but started with 0.25 and it helped me much , not hungry , eat small portion , don’t feel sick or hurt burn that’s the most side effect and nausea and I didn’t felt it. Just avoid spicy food it can really hurt you
Thank you!

كيف يمكنني تناول جرعة 0.5 اربع مرات بالشهر؟
تبدأ بجرعة 0.25 مجم مرة واحدة في الأسبوع ثم تزيد بجرعة 0.5 مجم مرة واحدة أسبوعيًا بعد شهر واحد. يمكنك الاستمرار على نفس الجرعة والاستجابة جيدة في الشهر التالي. يرجى التأكد من إشرافك على طبيب غدد صماء جيد لمساعدتك في علاج الآثار الجانبية وتقييم استجابتك السريرية.

Thank you so much doctor 🙏🏻 may I ask is it okay if I take 4 doses from the 0.25 mg pen at the same time to make up for the 1 mg dose ? In case it ran out and so ?
There's nothing wrong with it but 4 pricks in one go are a bit too much I'd suggest.
You have to change injection site and use new needle every time. It will also be quite costly to do this way.
Great ,and does anyone know how many doses are in 1 pen of 1 mg ? Tnx
1mg pen ozempic would give you FOUR doses of 1mg semaglutide and will finish after 4 full doses taken. Each dose is once a week. So the pen finishes in 4 weeks if taken 1mg dose each week
Спасибо!!!!!!👌❤❤❤
Hi, great video! Can you do a video for a 2mg.
@Rita44756 Unfortunately, we don't have 2mg pens available here. That strength is only available in America. We're still waiting for it's availability
Currently, the only pens available in stock are the semaglutide 5mg/3ml (1.66mg ml) Prefilled pens. Could you please possibly confirm how many clicks I would need for a weekly starter dose of 0.25mg.
I believe it will be 0.5mg pen and not 5mg because this strength doesn't exist...
From 0.5mg ozempic pen you need to do 18 clicks to get 0.25mg dose
Thank you so much
You are most welcome
While injection I didn't pres the button till the 6th seconds and there was a slight blood in the pan. Should I be worried, can I use it again or I have to change the pan?
There is a supply problem for the 0.5 mg pens and I already missed my initial dose which was supposed to be last Friday. The pharmacists told me that some people are buying in bulks and hoarding it for weight loss purposes and leaving us Type 2 diabetics struggling to get the supplies for our own medication. There are a few 0.25 mg pens being sold in some phramacies and I wonder if I can use 2 shots of it to compensate for a single shot of 0.5 mg without causing overdosage? Thanks.
I'm sorry to hear about your difficulties. Yes two doses of 0.25mg will equate to 0.5mg. Unfortunately you will need two pricks for injection
@@Endo-Diabetes-Simplifiedthank you for the info.
@@Endo-Diabetes-SimplifiedI couldn't still get hold of any 0.5mg pen so guess I will just buy the 0.25mg pen and take 2 shots tonight for my initial 0.5mg dose for my second month of using Ozempic which for the first month really helped me in managing my hunger fangs and blood sugar spikes. My random blood sugar tests in the last month yielded a range between 120-150 mg/dl and hopefully the increase in the dosage will yield much lower readings this coming weeks and good results for my next scheduled blood chem in December. Thank you again.
Thanks you !
Bonjour , s'il vous plaît je un crayon 1mg , je souhaiterais faire 0.25mg×4 semaines , 0.5mg ×4 semaines et 1 mg × 4 semaines . Est ce que c'est faisable avec un seul crayon 1mg ? Merci pour votre réponse
What about 0.5 pen? How can we use for 0.25 dose? Should we do the same? Should we split the initial dose in 2? Is that 36 clicks as well? I am not sure how many clicks it has as I ordered my pen on line and still didn’t get it.
Thank you
thanks you for this tutorial video, i was wondering why you don't see 0,5 mg in the 'display' after 36 clicks, i have a 1mg pen, but i see in your video that its normal so i did it right. the needle is so thin i didnt feel it go in my skin.
Me either , glad someone said something I wondering if I even got the shot because I don't feel the price or nothing on my skin as if I took a shot, one time I took 2 shots an thinking pen isn't working
Prick , was my word not price
Hello, thank you for your video! I am a bit confused with the clicks and the dashes, so why are we counting clicks and not dashes? Because 18 clicks is 15 dashes as I counted on my pen and this is really stressful if we are taking the right dose 😢
Yes the two clicks for priming the test shot are not coming as dashes so ignore them.
You get 0.25mg dose of semaglutide which is initiating dose.
Ok, quick question. My Dr. just raised my dosage from 0.5 mg to 1 mg. I've got 1.5 pens of the 0.5 mg dosage in my refrigerator right now. Is it safe to take two of those 0.5 mg dosages to reach the 1 mg full dosage prescribed until my new 1 mg pen arrives? If not, I may just wait until those pens are used to start the 1 mg dosage, as I really don't want to waste that much medicine.
@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
Does anyone knows why I already use 4 dosis of 18 clicks, and the pen still looks almost full?
Thanks
Yes ,,me
Mine always looks still full
I got the 2 mg pen and just did a .25 mg today by counting 9 clicks, the 2 mg dose is 72 clicks
Yes that's correct. Please ensure the storage is correct and the fluid doesn't get cloudy after 6 weeks. Discard use of the colour of fluid changes or your storage is not correct
Thank you! I'm afraid to take the full 2mg and would like to just do 1.5 mg instead
@@iammsheather if you are first time starter then please start with low dose of 0.25mg. A drug should never be used as a scary supplement. Ensure you also speak to your endocrinologist. Never start on high dose. Go slow, go safe in stepwise way
This was the answer I was looking for. I have a 2mg pen and wanted to know if I can start at .25 with this 2mg pen! So it is only 9 clicks for .25 from a 2mg pen??!!? Right! Just need to confirm PLEASE 🙏🏾

I'll try to access a 2mg ozempic... so far I don't have it available here.
I have made a video on wegovy 2.4mg instead... you might benefit from that
Doctor, if i use 0.25 (18 clicks) once then again i should set it from the start to 18 clicks. Or add another 18 clicks after the first 18 clicks.
One more question - what will happen if o use the same needle?
@mercyy4502 try to watch this video of mine where I have shown how the button pressing will take dial back to zero
th-cam.com/video/n5M5SCCtKWI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=PNdR-TI53CM423cS
You will start from zero every time you inject.
Using same needle is significant risk of cross contamination of pen device, injection site reaction, possible wrong dosing with needle getting blocked
Always use a new needle 🪡
I cannot find .25 to start with, how many clicks should I do on .5 to alternate as my .25 first dose ever?
А может не болеющие диабетом люди использовать его для похудения?
Yes it's licenced for weight loss by the name of wegovy but both ozempic and wegovy are exactly the same molecule semaglutide...

@@Endo-Diabetes-Simplified Thanku so much! This really helped me!! ❤️❤️
If my pen is 1mg but I want to split it into 0.25 mg doses, is it safe to assume that my one pen will be sufficient for 16 weeks worth of shots? (4mg of semalglutide, divided by 0.25 = 16). All the pharmacies in my area are out of stock of the pens, so I was only able to get the 1mg. Thank you in advance!
This has been the off licence method of prescription in times of shortage and COVID and it worked well for the patients ensuring consistency of supply.
Usually when patients up titrate the dose after a month, the 1mg pen doesn't last that long
Please ensure pen is always in refrigerator if using this way and you always check the fluid in the pen is clear and colorless
Always seek your endocrinologist supervision as this is a drug and not a supplement

Hey can I ask you something? There is something I don’t understand. I also have the 1mg pen but I want to start with a 0.25mg dose. How many clicks do I need for that?
I just don’t unterstand, how can one 1mg pen last for 4 doses. Is it empty when I reach the 72 clicks the first time? Then it would make sense that I need to count 18 clicks for 0.25mg. BUT it says that one pen has 4 doses… so I need 18 clicks divided by 4 right?😭
I AM SO CONFUSED CAN YOU HELP ME PLEASE :(
@@marwashaghely2840
The 1mg pen is designed to give 4 doses of 1mg if you do the full dial (72 clicks)
After 4 doses of 1mg the 1mg pen finishes which means it will last you 1 month to take 4 doses from 1 pen of Ozempic 1mg... each weekly dose will be 1mg of you do the full dial which is 72 clicks
When you take 18 clicks each week to take 0.25mg dose then you are taking only 1 fourth of your normally weekly 1mg dose to be taken from this pen...
Forget the maths and remember that Ozempic 1mg pen gives four doses of 1mg for each week if you do full dial each time without any click counts... this will last you 1 month
Watch my video again on this and in the end I have added the breakdown with click counts
Hi can this method apply to mounjaro too??
I'm afraid not because of the different pen device autoinjector...

Hello. May I ask you something? So how many time should we use 1mg? So far I understand 1mg= 0.25X4
0.50X4
0.75X1 or
0.75x4
0.50x2? I mean we have to do the math according to 4mg?
@pnarozsenol3281 starting dose is always 0.25mg which should be taken for 4 weeks. Then your endocrinologist should evaluate the response for diabetes or obesity and advise further dose. I tend to preserve doses as far as possible
If you want a smallee dose of 0.125? Is it wise to take the 1mg pen 0r the 0.25 pen can be divided with clicks too?
@levinatesta2312 this is not a therapeutic dose and 0.125mg may not give clinical benefit but if desired then it's best to use the 0.25mg pen because that already has 8 doses of 0.25mg
Thanks@@Endo-Diabetes-Simplified
Thanks in advance. How can I take 0.5mg dose from a 0.25 MG pen ?
You will have to inject two times
Thank You!!!!!!!
Thanks👌
Should I take ozempic after 8 weeks bc I miss the last few weeks and I don’t where it read week 9 or so on the paper
If a break longer than 8 weeks happened from high dose then you may trial lower dose because it might be a good chance to get same response with lower dose. This also avoids unnecessary side effects with sudden starting off high dose
I have a 1mg pen and I took the first dose of 0.5 which is 36 clicks out and after I did the injection it didn't come back to 0, I got scared and clicked again! Then it came back, I guess I gave myself 1mg right?
Please tell me, if I have 36 clicks, will it stop at half of that dose after the injection?
Yes you count 36 clicks to get 0.5mg dose from the 1mg pen.
If the dial didn't go to zero, it could be a faulty pen or you didn't click the button properly
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?

Hi! I got Ozempic 0,5 mg, but i am taking 0,25 mg. My doctor told me i should have 36 clics. I did it for the first time, but i am pretty sure it was a full 0,5 mg dose - not 0,25 mg. Am I right? I will make an appointment but I am a little bit stressed now. Can I ask for your help?
I believe you may have taken 0.5mg by taking 36 clicks. This is the calculation
18 clicks = 0.25mg
36 clicks = 0.5mg
72 clicks = 1mg
You may bring your pen to clinic and I could check your technique directly to advise
She told you that she has ozempic 0.5 mg pen ..
So, if the 0.5 mg pen has 72 clicks .. if she took 36 clicks from 0.5mg pen , then she already took 0.25 mg dose ..
This is correct or not ??
why coulndt they just put real numbers?? if u go 36clicks it show 36 instead of where the marker is...
@@Onico5 because they don't want to recommend using the pen this way
@@Endo-Diabetes-Simplified why?
@Onico5 basically the company recommends the pen use to not exceed 6 weeks to ensure 100% efficacy of molecule. This method was endorsed during COVID when drug shortage existed. The method worked while pens were used longer them 6 weeks but efficacy did drop over time. Those were unprecedented times and hence compromises were made on some cases.
The decision was left on treating endocrinologist to evaluate efficacy of drug if being used longer than 6 weeks. If there was any doubt about loss of efficacy then the remaining dose after 6 weeks was discarded and new device initiated.
how do I use a 0.5 as 0.25 if I'm going to run out of needles in the middle of the pen's life if I'm using half?

Yes please keep up the same 18 clicks...
You will see the piston change position after 4 weeks as you are using a very small quantity from 1mg pen device (if you are using the 1mg device)
Thank you kindly for getting back to me 🙏 I've taken 2nd dose last night .past two weeks zero side effects but also zero weight loss 😢😢 I was thinking I'm taken incorrectly!!
If I have a pen of 0.5 mg, how many clicks do I have to do to take a 0.25 dose? I need to use it for 8 weeks, correct? But how many clicks for 0.25?
@adina9936 18 clicks of 0.5mg pen will deliver 0.25mg dose and last 8 weeks. The full dial is going to give 0.5 but you don't need to do this. You can get same amount from ozempic 0.25mgb pen which carries 8 doses of 0.25mg. Watch this video where I have shown this

i have the 1 mg pen but im doing .5 mg administration, can i use this refrigated pen post 56 days ?
As long as the fluid is colorless and not frozen and you are finding the efficacy there and you have not broken the cold chain... meaning kept it in for of your fridge and its not expired
What if I use .25 from a .50 what happens to the remaining .25? Does it go to waste? Or I can reclick 18 more times or click all the way or it’s a lost .25 dose
@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
I want to take the lowest dose possible so how many times do i need to click it ?
In the envelope, the needle is written, its validity date is six weeks after the first use, can I use it for 9 weeks?
It's best practice to consume the pen within 6 weeks because the efficacy of molecule becomes questionable after 6 weeks.
But in real world experience during COVID pandemic and shortages, the pen has been used longer than 6 weeks under close endocrinologist supervision without any problems
