The dosage of Ozempic is increased automatically. You don't have to do anything yourself.

This is the standard buildup schedule (unless otherwise agreed upon in your treatment plan):

  • First month: You will receive a pen for 0.25 mg injections.

  • Second month (after 4 weeks): The dose will automatically be increased to 0.5 mg. You will receive a new pen for this.

  • Third month (after 4 weeks): You will receive a pen for 1 mg injections.

If you would like to maintain a different dosage, please discuss this with our medical team. From the third month onwards, you will receive the standard 1 mg pens unless you have made other arrangements with our medical team.

If you want to pause or stop your subscription, you can do so at any time. Just be sure to let us know at least 3 days before the next shipment, or arrange it yourself through your account.
