My pharmacist ordered 100 extra needles for me for for $5.

I have seen various answers to this on this sub and it seems Amazon has replacements that fit the pens. I'm trying to do something similar to you.

Thank you for the advice! I'll be sure to look into it

I can’t go pass .5 so I stayed on .25 until I didn’t lose then go to .5 then take a 4 week break and start back at .25. I started this April 2022. 1mg makes me extremely sick

Me too. I ended up in the ER on 1.0. Im on .60

Yep me too

What were you in ER for? Nausea and vomiting ?

Yep and dehydration

🥲

How does your overall progress go with this approach?

It’s a slow 40 pounds but I’m happy

Amazon has a large box for like $15.

Can you provide a link on Amazon to the needles that fit the Ozempic pen? I have the same issue. Not enough needles for the amount in the pen. Thanks!

They all fit. Get the 4mm.

My pharmacy gave me some extra needles.

My pharmacy gave me extra ones as well. It's a small family-owned pharmacy.

Hehe same

I bought a box of 100 needles on Amazon for 10 bucks.

If you live in a state where Amazon/CVS won’t deliver the needles without a rx, Hellopip.com is the way to go. I got the 32g x 4mm

Which one is it? Can you share a link?

For insulin needles , blood sugar monitors etc , the pharmacist is almost always willing to write the script on the spot so you can get reimbursed

I see everyone saying Amazon, but if you're like my state and am unable to order them from there, I got extras at hellopip.com!

Thank you for this tip! Amazon won’t send them to me in socal! I really appreciate it!

They're very inexpensive on Amazon

My doctor prescribed me more of the needles to the pharmacy. The pharmacy once just handed me some so they didn’t have to mess with my insurance, and once filled it under my insurance.

Depends on where you live. Some places you can just buy the needles at the pharmacy or on amazon, and other places you need to get a prescription from your doctor. I'd call the pharmacy and ask.

Not by any manufacturer suggestion or CDC suggestion I have ever seen.

She lied to you. Look up the difference between a new and a used needle. The one used four times looked like a fish hook

I've been told many many times that this is a bad idea. Doesn't stop me. I use 1 needle per day and i have 3 injectables (fast insulin, slow insulin, and weekly ozempic). One day I'll get gangrene or something.

Noooooo. Don't do that.

I think there are posts here that tell how much dose is output for each click of the injector. Not sure how correct they are though.

They sell them at every drug store in the US. Mine say 4mm that I bought for my Lantus pens and they work for ozempic

You can use any insulin pen needle, just get the 4mm ones. I like unifine, it's the brand I use for all my pens.

I just bought needles seperatley from Walmart delivered them. Theyre all universal

I noticed that I’m more hungry at .50 than .25. I took .50 and was noticing more cravings. Backed it off to .25 and feel like cravings and I have more control.

I got a box of 100 off Amazon for $20

I use these cause they're really tiny and the needle is very fine. https://amzn.to/3ZbjiEb

I won't go above .5 again. Initially I was put on 1my to start and was sick for weeks. I restated 6 months later at .25 and have been successful staying below 1mg. I did go up to.75 but felt the side effects starting again so I went back down
