How to dose - (1mg pen) ?
So I’ve been on and off this medication for about a year or two now I’ve chronic health conditions and sometimes when I’m in major flareups it’s just not wise for me to take Ozempic because of some of the side-effects I get
Long story short I contracted influenza an and following this I have a sinus infection. Obviously during this time for about a month I skipped Ozempic.
Funny story is before that month happened. I’ve spoken to my doctor about going up from 0.5 mg to 0.75 mg. I was prescribed the 1 mg pen with the oh.75 mg dose.
Now that I’ve had a bunch of time off it, I’m concerned about going straight up to 0.75 and I would like to be trying to do oh .5 or even 0 .25, just not to send my body into too much of a shock
I have never used a pen that doesn’t just have the dose. Every pen I have used has been the set dose for example when I was on oh.25 I used a pen from that amount.
What is the best way to draw this up? And is it possible to start myself on a slow dose from the same pen? For example starting on a dose of 0.25 then 0.5 for two weeks and then go up to 0.75 without buying more and more pens.
I’ve never had to do the clicking thing to a dose with counting so I’m not really sure how it works and the doctor didn’t give the best instructions is it better to buy a syringe and treat the pen like a vile I’ve been reading in some comments that that is easier however I would like to steer away from that because it gives me anxiety
