Ozempic comes in three pen strengths: 0.25-0.5mg (blue), 1-2mg (gray), and 2-4mg (green). Each pen is designed for specific dose ranges and has different click values per dose. Using the correct pen for your prescribed dose is important for accurate dosing.

Understanding Ozempic Pen Colors and Dosing

Ozempic pens are color-coded for different dose ranges:

Blue Pen (0.25-0.5mg): Each click delivers 0.25mg. Typically used for initial doses and titration.
Gray Pen (1-2mg): Each click delivers 0.5mg. Used for maintenance doses of 1mg and higher.
Green Pen (2-4mg): Each click delivers 1mg. Used for higher maintenance doses.

Using the correct pen for your prescribed dose helps ensure accurate medication delivery and reduces the risk of dosing errors.
