Can You Get A 1mg Dose From The Ozempic 8mg/3mL (2mg) Pen?

Answer

Thank you for the great question!

Unfortunately, the Ozempic 8mg/3mL pen only delivers doses in 2mg increments. This is clearly stated in the prescribing information and medication guide for Ozempic. Below is an image from the guide for reference:

This information is stated on the box as well.

If your dosage is 1mg per week, you will need the Ozempic 4mg/3mL pen.

It is important to note that some people, especially on online forums, suggest you can dose 1mg with a 2mg pen by counting 'clicks' on the dosage selector as you dial the dose. This is not recommended as it increases the risk of dosage errors, and the amount of medication per click may not be consistent from pen to pen.

Final Words

Thanks again for reaching out!
