Good morning. I have a small question. I think I made a blunder. I use ozempic 1 mg 3 ml. I have already done four injections, and in the end I noticed that I was making a mistake. I set it up like this. Did I waste the drug? Can I buy additional needles? How much of it could have been left?

Each Ozempic pen contains 4 doses. To give the full dose of Ozempic, in this case 1 mg, turn the knob until you notice "1 mg" in the dose window. From the photo, I understand that you only made 1 or 2 turns of the knob each time before the injection, so you only gave traces of the drug. Therefore, there are probably 4 incomplete doses left in the pen. In this situation, you should immediately make an appointment with a doctor and consult further treatment, while remembering to measure your blood glucose regularly.
Please note that according to the manufacturer's information, the pen should be discarded 6 weeks after first use, even if there is still some medicine left in it. Instructions on how to use Ozempic can be found in the package leaflet or here:
