Steps to deliver your dose1
No matter if a patient is initiating, maintaining, or escalating their Ozempic® dose, inform them to follow these steps for proper administration. Instruct your patients to use a new needle for each injection and to never share pens to avoid contamination or infection.
1-Prepare
- Wash hands with soap and water
- Check the name and colored label on the pen and ensure the Ozempic® medicine is clear and colorless
- Take a new needle and push onto the pen and turn to tighten
- Always use a new needle with each injection. Instruct patients to never reuse or share needles with other people. Never use a bent or damaged needle
2-Select
- For first-time use with each new pen, check the flow by turning the selector until the dose counter shows the flow-check symbol () then press and hold the dose button until a drop appears at the needle tip
- Only check the Ozempic® flow on the first-time use of each new pen
- Turn the dose selector until the dose counter stops and shows the correct prescribed dose
3-Inject
- Insert the needle into the skin and make sure you can see the dose counter
- Press and hold down the dose button until the dose counter shows 0, and continue pressing the dose button while keeping the needle in the skin
- Count 6 seconds while keeping the dose button pressed. If the needle is removed earlier, a stream of OZEMPIC® may come from the needle tip. If this happens, the full dose will not be delivered
- After injection, carefully remove the needle and dispose of it properly, then put the cap back on the pen and store properly
