What is Ozempic?
OZEMPIC Pen is a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 agonist). GLP-1 is a hormone that helps stimulate insulin secretion and lowers glucagon secretion. This helps your body lower its glucose levels because insulin helps the cells absorb your glucose, reducing the sugar in your blood and providing the cells with glucose for energy. In contrast, glucagon tells the body to store the glucose, making your blood sugar rise. Lowering glucagon function will decrease the sugar in your blood.
Ozempic Pens Available for Purchase
OZEMPIC Pens are available for purchase for U.S. patients through our online Canadian pharmacy. Ozempic is a single patient-use pen that delivers:
- 0.25 mg or 0.5 mg per injection (2 mg/3mL pen)

Storage Instructions for Ozempic Pens
Proper storage of your Ozempic pens is crucial for maintaining their effectiveness:
- Store Ozempic pens in the refrigerator at 36°F to 46°F (2°C to 8°C).

Ozempic Pen Stability
Ozempic pens are stable when refrigerated at 36°F to 46°F (2°C to 8°C). When Ozempic is exposed to temperatures outside this range, the peptides could potentially break down and make the medication less effective. Signs of instability include:

If these signs occur, the pen should not be used.

- Attach a new, sterile needle: Screw on a new needle firmly to your Ozempic Pen. Ensure to use a new needle each time as used needles could become blunt and difficult to use.
