Ozempic Pre-Filled Pen 0.5Mg 1 VL

Ozempic 0.5 mg pre‑filled pen is a prescription injectable medication containing semaglutide, a once‑weekly glucagon‑like peptide‑1 (GLP‑1) receptor agonist used to treat type 2 diabetes in adults, alongside diet and exercise. It can also reduce the risk of major cardiovascular events (heart attack, stroke) in adults with type 2 diabetes and known heart disease or chronic kidney disease. 

• This 0.5 mg dose is typically a maintenance dose after starting at a lower dose (such as 0.25 mg) to help the body adjust. The medication is provided in a prefilled, multi‑use pen that you use to inject yourself once a week under the skin (abdomen, thigh, or upper arm). 

💉 How It Works

Semaglutide works by:

• Stimulating insulin release when glucose is high

• Reducing glucagon secretion

• Slowing gastric emptying

• Helping lower blood sugar levels
  These effects contribute to improved glycemic (blood sugar) control. 

📍 Pen Features & Dosing

• Some Ozempic pens (often with a red label) can deliver 0.25 mg and 0.5 mg doses. 

• The dose is injected once weekly on the same day each week, at any time of day, with or without food. 

• The first dose is often 0.25 mg for several weeks (to reduce side effects), followed by 0.5 mg maintenance before possible escalation to higher doses if needed.
