Wegovy (Semaglutide) Weight Loss Injector 2.4 mg/0.75 mL, 4 Pens Per Box **Refrigerated Item**

Wegovy (Semaglutide) Weight Loss Injector 2.4 mg/0.75 mL is a prescription medication that contains the active ingredient semaglutide. It is used for weight management in adults who have a body mass index (BMI) of 30 kg/m² or greater, or who have at least one weight-related medical condition, such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol.

Semaglutide is a type of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist, which works by mimicking the effects of the naturally occurring hormone GLP-1 in the body. GLP-1 helps regulate appetite, food intake, and blood sugar levels. By activating GLP-1 receptors, semaglutide can decrease appetite, increase feelings of fullness, and lower blood sugar levels.

Wegovy is an injectable form of semaglutide that is administered once a week using a prefilled pen injector. It is typically used as part of a comprehensive weight loss program that includes a reduced-calorie diet, increased physical activity, and behavioral therapy.

Wegovy was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2021 and is marketed by Novo Nordisk.

How to use Wegovy (Semaglutide) Weight Loss Injector 2.4 mg/0.75 mL:

1. Choose the injection area: The recommended injection areas for Wegovy are the stomach, thigh, or upper arm. Avoid injecting into areas with scars, bruises, or hard lumps. Alternate the injection site between the stomach, thigh, and upper arm with each injection.

2. Prepare the injector: Remove one pre-filled pen from the package. Check the label to make sure it is the correct dose (2.4 mg/0.75 mL). Do not shake the pen. Wipe the injection site with an alcohol swab and let it dry.

3. Remove the pen cap: Pull the pen cap straight off. Do not twist or bend the pen cap as this may cause the needle to bend or break.

4. Attach the needle: Take out the needle cap and twist it onto the pen. Carefully remove the outer needle cap and then the inner needle cap.

5. Dose selector: Set the dose selector to the correct dose (2.4 mg). You will see the dosage number on the dose selector window. If the dose selector is not set to 2.4 mg, turn it to the correct number.

6. Inject: With your thumb, pinch the skin gently at the injection site and insert the needle straight away into the skin at a 90-degree angle. Press the dose button all the way in until the dose counter shows “0”. Keep the pen in the skin for at least 6 seconds to make sure the full dose is delivered.

7. Remove the needle: Release the dose button and carefully pull out the needle. If there is blood at the injection site, press a cotton ball or gauze on it for a few seconds. Do not rub the injection site.

8. Dispose: After use, remove the needle and pen cap. Dispose of the needle in a puncture-proof container. The pen can be thrown away in the regular household trash.

Note: Do not share your Wegovy injection pen with others even if the needle is changed. This can lead to the spread of diseases. Always use a new needle for each injection.

It is important to follow the dosing schedule recommended by your doctor and do not inject more than once per day. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember, unless it is less than 2 hours until your next dose. In that case, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not take extra medicine to make up for a missed dose. If you have any questions or concerns about using the Wegovy injector, please consult your doctor or healthcare provider.
