Welcome. I have been keeping the drug ozempic 1 mg in the refrigerator for more than a month. It was used once but I felt very bad. Can I still use it in this dose. And do I have to start with 0.25 again or can I give 0.5?

In response to the great interest of patients, a non-reimbursed drug Ozempic from parallel imports appeared in pharmacies.

Ozempic is suitable for use for 6 weeks from the first opening. As for the dosage, much depends on the individual situation of the patient and the tolerance of the drug, but in most situations therapy should be started with a dose of 0.25 mg. In particular, if the patient has poorly tolerated the drug, care should be taken to ensure that the doses are increased gradually. It is a prescription drug, so the doctor on the basis of the anamnesis should provide you with information on what dose and for how long to use and how to conduct therapy and intensify it. I remind you that the drug is intended for use in combination with changes in eating habits and regular physical activity (both adapted to the needs and capabilities of the patient).
