FAQ
Can I stay on 0.5mg?
Yes. If 0.5mg is effectively managing your blood sugar or weight and you are experiencing good results, many doctors will keep you at that dose to minimize side effects.
What is the "click chart"?
In some countries, Ozempic pens are adjustable by "clicks". For example, on a 1mg pen, ~36 clicks might equal 0.5mg. Shotlee has a built-in click calculator for all major pen types.
