These are the instructions you follow when using Ozempic for diabetes. If you are using Ozempic for weight loss, they may be different. Because it is an off-label treatment for weight loss, the way you take it may vary from case to case. Here is a guideline for using Ozempic for weight loss:

• It is best to inject Ozempic into the front of your thighs, the front of your waist, or your upper arm.

Ozempic for sale works differently for different people, and it can depend on the dose. In clinical trials, it took four to five weeks for Ozempic to reach a level of "steady state exposure" in the body (which essentially means you have a continuous supply of the drug in your system).  ^[1]

Clinical trials also showed that 46% of people who took the 0.5 mg for a year lost up to 5% of their body weight, and 13% of people who took it lost up to 10%. In people who took the 1 mg dose for a year, 62% lost up to 5% of their body weight and 24% lost up to 10% of their body weight.  ^[1]

If you forget to take a dose, and it has been five days or less, take the dose when you remember. Continue with the next dose on the scheduled day. If it has been more than five days, skip the dose and continue with the next dose on the scheduled day. Do not take a double dose to make up for the one you missed.

If you accidentally take a higher dose than prescribed, let your prescriber know as soon as possible. You may feel sick if you take more Ozempic than you should.

Always take Ozempic for sale as advised by your doctor.
