Key Features & Information about the Pen Injector:

Purpose: Provides a convenient, accurate, and relatively painless way for patients to self-administer subcutaneous (under the skin) injections.

Brands & Strengths:

Ozempic: Pens come in different strengths (e.g., 0.25 mg, 0.5 mg, 1 mg, 2 mg) and are dosed once weekly. The pen delivers a fixed dose per injection.

Wegovy: Pens also come in specific escalating strengths (0.25 mg, 0.5 mg, 1 mg, 1.7 mg, 2.4 mg) and are dosed once weekly. The pen delivers a fixed dose per injection.

Note: Dosage and specific pen design vary between brands and strengths. Always use the pen prescribed for you.

How it Works:

The pen contains a pre-measured amount of semaglutide solution.

A new, sterile needle is attached to the pen for each injection.

The user dials the prescribed dose (often a fixed number of "clicks" or a specific number shown in a dose window).

After inserting the needle into the skin (at a 90-degree angle), the user presses the injection button fully and holds it until the dose counter returns to zero (usually 5-10 seconds).

The needle is then removed and safely discarded in a sharps container.

Needle:

Very thin and short (typically 4mm, 5mm, 6mm, or 8mm, and 32G gauge), designed for subcutaneous injection with minimal discomfort.

Must be changed for every injection to ensure sterility and sharpness.

Usually sold separately or included in starter packs.

Dosing:

Fixed Dose: Each pen click delivers a specific, pre-set amount. You dial the number of clicks corresponding to your prescribed dose.

Priming: Requires a "test shot" (prime) into the air before each new needle is used to ensure the pen is working and the needle is full of medication. Follow the specific instructions in the leaflet.

Injection Sites: Administered into fatty tissue under the skin on the:

Abdomen (avoiding the navel)

Thigh (front)

Back of the upper arm (if someone else is administering it)
