The Ozempic click chart is a visual reference tool included with the medication pen. It displays the audible "clicks" corresponding to each pre-set dose setting. Each pen has a specific chart listing the exact number of audible clicks required to rotate the dosage selector dial to the prescribed dose.

Understanding and Using the Click Chart

Purpose: To ensure patients accurately dose Ozempic when the pen dose window does not display numbers clearly for every possible dose increment. Primarily used during pen setup before the first injection.

• Identify Your Pen: Ozempic pens come in two distinct starter doses (0.25 mg or 0.5 mg) and two distinct maintenance doses (1 mg or 2 mg). The click chart is specific to the strength (mg) of the pen you are using.
• Locate Your Dose: Find your prescribed dose (e.g., 0.25 mg, 0.5 mg, 1 mg, or 2 mg) on the chart.
• Count the Clicks: The chart lists the precise number of audible clicks needed to reach your dose from the starting position (line aligned with the dose pointer). Rotate the dosage selector dial until you hear the specified number of clicks.
• Align the Dose Line: After the correct number of clicks, verify the dose line is perfectly centered in the pen's dose window before injecting.

Simple Injection Step-by-Step Guide

1. Preparation: Wash hands. Check medication name, strength, and expiration date. Let pen reach room temperature if refrigerated. Attach a new needle firmly each time. Remove both needle caps.

• Prime the Pen (Required for each new pen): Select 0.25 mg dose or 5 units (using clicks if needed). Point needle upwards. Press and hold dose button until 0 lines up with pointer. A drop should appear at needle tip. Repeat if not.

2. Set the Dose: Rotate the dosage selector dial to your prescribed dose. Listen for the clicks. Ensure the dose line is centered in the window.

3. Inject: Cleanse injection site (abdomen, thigh, or upper arm). Pinch skin. Insert needle fully. Press and hold dose button until dose counter returns to 0. Hold firmly for 6 more seconds. Remove needle.

4. After Care: Safely discard the used needle in a sharps container. Store pen as directed (cap on, without needle attached).

Key Reminder: Always follow your healthcare provider's dosing instructions and refer to the pen's official instructions. The click chart is crucial for accurate initial dose setting.
