How do I know when my Ozempic (semaglutide) pen is empty?
To know when your Ozempic® pen is empty, twist the dose counter (located at the end of the pen) to your prescribed dose. For example, if you are trying to inject 1 mg and cannot turn the dose counter to the number 1, then there is insufficient medicine left to administer the full dose and you should switch to a new pen. Ozempic has 3 different types of pens: 1) the 0.25/0.5 mg pen which can administer a total of 4 doses of 0.25 mg plus 2 doses of 0.5 mg or 4 doses of 0.5 mg, 2) the 1 mg pen that contains 4 doses of 1 mg, and 3) the 2 mg pen that contains 4 doses of 2 mg.
