Ozempic pens - split dosing - 101

Wasn’t happy with Henry meds, going back to the real deal. 

1. Dr proscribed 2mg doses in a 8mg pen. 
Costco filled it instantly for ~890.  Half of what Walgreens was gouging me for. 
Fuck Walgreens. 

2. BUT, I’m planning on split dosing. 


This chart shows the rough count of clicks for different doses. 
It took three rotations to get to 2mg. 
Or rewound.
Counted out 36-38 (accuracy is silly to worry about)
I then was SMART. I marked the pen!!!



Oh look, a little mark. This is at 1mg. 

Box looks like this. 


But you will need extra needle tips for the auto injector. 
Tada 32G 4mm

Cheep and available at cvs etc. 


SO, in theory, I can control exactly the dosage and at 1mg, it’s just a bit more than Henry meds. 
I’m … going back to official.
