I strongly advise against modifying the factory settings of your Wegovy pen without explicit instructions from your doctor. If the reason for wanting to split the dose is the cost of treatment or strong side effects, it is worth discussing this with your doctor, who can suggest a safer alternative.
Counting down the "clicks" on the pen knob or pouring the medicine into other syringes on your own is fraught with a high risk of giving the wrong dose, which may result in no therapeutic effect or worsening of side effects. Any violation of the pen membrane or the use of the same needle drastically increases the risk of infection of the bacterial solution many times over, which can lead to dangerous infections at the injection site.
Please note that Wegovy is only valid for a certain period of time (28 days at room temperature up to 30°C) after opening (first use).
The Wegovy preparation should be part of a comprehensive approach, including a proper diet and physical activity. The diet should be tailored to the individual needs of the body and take into account all key nutrients. The support of a qualified dietitian can be helpful, also in the form of online consultations, e.g. on the Gdziepolek.pl portal:
