How long is the first pen of Wegovy 1 mg enough for the "clicks" scheme, how do you recognize that the drug is running out?

1) How long is a Wegovy 1 mg pen enough for a "clicks" scheme?

Vegovy FlexTouch in a dose of 1 mg, contains 3 ml of solution for injection, which gives approx. 72 clicks in the whole pen.

However, it is worth knowing that the manufacturer does not provide an official number of clicks, because the pen is designed to administer full doses, and "counting clicks" is an off-registration practice. In pharmaceutical practice, it is assumed that 1 click ≈ 0.013–0.014 mg, which gives about 72 clicks per pen. This number may vary slightly between pennies.

If you use the dosage "in clicks", it is best to write down the number of doses taken.

2) How do I know if a medicine is running out?

The dose knob cannot be turned to the next dose – it will stop before reaching the set amount, signaling a lack of liquid. In this case, you will not hear the characteristic click during injection, and the liquid will not inject properly. The pen does not have a digital indicator, so you should keep track of the number of doses administered yourself.

3) Does a maintenance dose of 2.4 mg mean a cost of over PLN 1000 per month?

A maintenance dose of 2.4 mg is indeed associated with a significantly higher monthly expense and currently usually exceeds PLN 1000, although the exact amount depends on the pharmacy.
