Drawing Up A Syringe: Semaglutide Instructions

[@maryd7081]

What does 0.25mg look like on syringe

[@inao-cz]

That depends on strength of the vial you have. Let's say you will have 10mg/ml. Meaning you will want 0.025ml of that. 10u on this syringe means 0.1ml, but this can vary depending on the syringe manufacturer.

[@lapaola4337]

I was going to ask the same thing! TY!

[@aggiedoc3642]

I have 30 mg semaglutide and I need to know how much 7.5 mg is on the syringe

[@SvensktTroll]

​@@aggiedoc3642Depends on how meny ml it is?

[@emilypendlebury7278]

@@inao-czif I have 7.5mg semaglutide what is 0.25mg in a u100 syringe look like?

[@Ekooo0]

You know what would help.... indicating if that's 2mg of semaglutide...

[@nickibaker7283]

Thank you! Or how many ML’s

[@kgrfirdjy]

the bottle is labeled on how many milligrams of semaglutide per mL it contains. then with simple math, you can convert that to the dose your doctor ordered for you. you can also ask your pharmacist on how much to draw up in your syringe.

[@michelleelliott9423]

It's hard to maneuver pulling down the plunging with one hand. I bent my needle fumbling with it

[@Rasheens-Story]

I just got mine I’ll be starting tomorrow 😊

[@mototron1000]

If you ever see a doctor/nurse/caregiver touch the tip of the needle to the metal rim of the bottle (like you see in this demonstration video), don't let them inject you. That needle is blunted, and it's gonna hurt.

[@lincosisbreeze9229]

I’m pretty sure it was a mistake in this demo if you meant before piercing the vial. The needle won’t become that blunt from doing this, though of course wouldn’t suggest due to other reasons if in office. The tip isn’t like the point of a knife, it’s all components of the needle that dull when puncturing that can lead to pain. Also bluntness isn’t as big of an issue with insulin needles due to their size. They’re meant to be used blunt. Outside of mishaps when injecting, which shouldn’t be an issue with Sema for example really, any noticeable pain you feel is from having a foreign sharp object entering your body. Ex: If you meant the proximity of the puncture to the metal rim, this also isn’t an issue due to the way vial stoppers are made.

[@jholmes7955]

Hellooooo. Do you not see all these unanswered questions???

[@donmasacre4919]

I bought 50 units of insulin syringes. My dosage of Sema is .25mg. What units do I need

[@murielford464]

Jusy received mine today it's a half a bottle is that correct for 3 months ? 😊

[@tinaj163]

How do I draw up 12.5 units?

[@marinamccormick1708]

Why didn’t you draw air first ?

[@budgetnthangs]

What type syringe is it?

[@kaylinwatson7350]

How many units is a 0.25 mg prescription?

[@jennifergerald4458]

I was told 25 units by my dr

[@vickisotomayor5496]

That's what I'm trying to figure out too

[@rudyrms9003]

Its 25 units

[@adriennezisman5027]

On a 30 unit syringe, it's the 5 mark

[@breebee1738]

The syringe is measured in cc though. How much is 0.25 in cc?

[@user-tf1jt9lx5u]

is 20 units the same as .20ml :/

[@JojoLannister]

No don’t think so. Every 10 units = .25 mL

[@TheAlioop16]

Omg thank you

[@Dreams2come_]

How long does that little bottle last ?

[@naniauguste9949]

I think a month once open

[@BlandHandle]

1cc syringe, then people talk ml, and the syringe is in units. So my .25 mg in a 1cc syringe is how many units? SOMEONE has to have posted some sort of clear guide on this. A set of numbers for each size syringe 1cc, 2,cc, 5 etc. Based on the responses I"m not the only one that's confused

[@Angel-pl5jt]

But is to hard when is 0.27 mg !!! How I do thaaat is impossible

[@TREY_TALK]

The way she did that looks painful

[@javegamo7972]

😊😊

[@msbeautifullies]

the needle looks long. do i insert it all the way into my tummy please

[@winterrose9658]

What is 48 units?

[@RemingSt33l]

Whats 100 mcg???

[@ohioheartoftheusa3531]

what about the .25 amount!???

[@ebones.6046]

That's the 10 mark

[@rigonosaurusa.8856]

Units? What units?!

[@melissaayers1911]

Lmao

[@kelannaspiller2350]

So is .5 50 units?

[@shannonreeser5865]

That's what I've been trying to figure out. I am prescribed .50 and can't figure out where to fill it to. The 5 is the very first number and that looks way too little and the 50 seems like way too much.

[@vanayjshaporteous5152]

Yes

[@nickibaker7283]

I have this same issue. Why prescribe a syringe measured in units and semuglutadine for 0.5 ML’s?? I am so confused and it does seem like a lot.

[@carriesingleton4083]

@@shannonreeser5865 Hi, I'm having the same question. Did you figure it out? None of the youtube videos address the 50 unit syringe. I'm also prescribed .50...and provided with the 50 unit syringe.

[@staceyc5045]

Pharmacist here. 0.5 ml = 50 units. They should have told you this info

[@kimberlywilliams40]

This is incorrect

[@meanpeoplesuck4355]

Ok y'all, I'm going to admit to being the dumbest person on the planet :p I have been injecting .25 ml for 4 weeks. Today I realized the medication isn't going down in the vial very much. It's hard to see inside the vial because of the sticker that goes around it. Anyway, I checked the syringe after I filled it and...it was empty. Yep, I've been injecting basically NOTHING for the past 4 weeks! Somehow I lost 6lbs but it wasn't from the semaglutide. No wonder I haven't had any side effects. What a dipshit I am.

[@JenTriesThings]

Oh gosh!!! Trust me, we all do things like that. That’s great you lost weight. What syringe do you use

[@meanpeoplesuck4355]

@@JenTriesThings it has 100 on it so it’s easy to measure out what I need. Well, easy if I could get the med into the syringe 😂 I debated about sharing but figured it may help someone else.
