❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why is the 0.25 mg dose called a “starter” pen?
A: It allows your body to adjust to semaglutide before increasing to higher, therapeutic doses like 0.5 mg or 1 mg.

Q: Will this pen help me lose weight?
A: While 0.25 mg may lead to reduced appetite, its primary purpose is to ease side effects—not for long-term weight loss.

Q: How long will this pen last?
A: This pen contains 4 weekly doses, so it will last 4 weeks.

Q: Do I need to use it with meals?
A: No, Ozempic can be taken with or without food, at any time of day.

Q: Can ozempic cause hair loss?
A: Although Ozempic itself is not known to directly cause hair loss, some users may experience increased hair shedding as a side effect of the rapid weight loss it often promotes. This is typically not due to the medication itself, but rather a condition called telogen effluvium, which is a temporary form of hair loss that occurs when the body undergoes significant stress or sudden changes—such as quick and substantial weight reduction. As the body adjusts to this new state, more hair follicles than usual can enter the resting (telogen) phase of the hair growth cycle, leading to increased shedding. This condition is usually temporary, and hair typically regrows once the body stabilizes.
