You have visual impairment, memory issues, or anyone else might accidentally use your pen.
| Dose Setting | What you see on the 1 mg pen | | :--- | :--- | | | Arrow points to "0" | | 0.25 mg (19 clicks) | Arrow points to empty space between "0" and first dash | | 0.5 mg (37 clicks) | Arrow points to first solid dash (labeled "0.5") | | 1 mg (74 clicks) | Arrow points to "1" |
However, rounding this number is dangerous. Instead of calculating per click, you should use the verified that maps whole numbers of clicks to standard therapeutic doses.
Through physical testing and manufacturer data, the Ozempic 1 mg pen is calibrated as follows:
| Desired Dose | Number of Clicks | Pen Marking Display | Notes | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | (Starting dose) | 18 - 19 clicks | Between 0 and 0.5 | No line; you must count. 19 is slightly closer to 0.25mg. | | 0.50 mg (Therapeutic dose) | 37 clicks | Exactly at the 0.5 line | The 0.5 line is physically marked. | | 0.75 mg (Off-label step) | 55 - 56 clicks | Between 0.5 and 1.0 | Use for gradual titration. | | 1.00 mg (Full dose) | 74 clicks | Exactly at the 1.0 line | Standard full dose for T2D. |
