What is a Generic Drug?

A generic drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, consumption method, performance, and intended use. Before generics become available on the market, the generic company must prove it has the same active ingredients as the brand-name drug and works in the same way and in the same amount of time in the body.

The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is that generics are less expensive and may look slightly different (eg. different shape or color), as trademarks laws prevent a generic from looking exactly like the brand-name drug.

Generics are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have to invest large sums of money to develop a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies can manufacture a copy of the brand-name and sell it at a substantial discount.

Directions

Carefully read and follow the instructions that come with your Ozempic prescription. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist about any questions or concerns you have.

Ozempic should be injected underneath the skin of the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm. You should alternate the site with each injection. Your healthcare provider should teach you how to properly inject the pen and dispose of it.

The recommended starting dose is 0.25 mg once a week. You may administer it at any time of the day, with or without food. After 4 weeks, your doctor may decide to increase your dose to 0.5 mg once a week. After 4 weeks of being on the 0.5 mg dose, your doctor may increase your dose as necessary.

Before using your Ozempic pen for the first time, you should store it in the refrigerator between 36°F and 46°F (2°C to 8° C). Do not freeze it.

After your first use, you can store it for 56 days at room temperature between 59°F and 86°F (15° to 30°C). Keep the pen away from excessive heat and sun exposure.
