Ozempic Pre-Filled Pen 0.25Mg 1 VL

Ozempic® 0.25 mg pre‑filled pen is a prescription injectable medication containing the active ingredient semaglutide, used to help manage type 2 diabetes in adults as an adjunct to diet and exercise. It belongs to a class called GLP‑1 receptor agonists which help lower blood sugar and can also reduce cardiovascular risk in appropriate patients.

The 0.25 mg dose is typically used as an initial starter dose to help your body adjust to the medication before increasing to a clinically effective maintenance dose (usually 0.5 mg once weekly).

It’s delivered once weekly by subcutaneous injection (under the skin) using a pre‑filled pen.

💉 Pen Details

• The 0.25 mg pen contains semaglutide solution for injection in a pre‑filled, multi‑use pen. The pen is usually designed to provide multiple weekly doses (e.g., 4 doses) of 0.25 mg each.

• Some Ozempic pens are labeled to deliver both 0.25 mg and 0.5 mg doses (red‑label pens), but the 0.25 mg specification refers to the dose dialed and injected per week.

🩺 How It’s Used

• Initial Dose: Doctors commonly start patients at 0.25 mg once weekly for about 4 weeks to help reduce gastrointestinal side effects and allow your body to adapt.

• Dose Escalation: After the starter period, your provider may increase your dose to 0.5 mg once weekly (and higher if needed for blood sugar control).

• Administration: Inject once a week on the same day each week, at any time of day, with or without food.
