Instructions for Use

Before you use your Wegovy weight loss pen for the first time, talk to your healthcare provider or your caregiver about how to prepare and inject Wegovy correctly.

Important information

Read the Instructions for Use before you start using Wegovy. This information does not replace talking to your healthcare provider about your medical condition or treatment.

Your Wegovy weight loss pen is for one-time use only. The Wegovy pen is for subcutaneous (under the skin) use only.
The dose of Wegovy is already set on your pen.
The needle is covered by the needle cover and the needle will not be seen.
Do not remove the pen cap until you are ready to inject.
Do not touch or push on the needle cover. You could get a needle stick injury.
Your injection will begin when the needle cover is pressed against your skin.
Do not remove the pen from your skin before the yellow bar in the pen window has stopped moving. If the needle is removed earlier, you may not get your full dose.
If the yellow bar does not start moving or stops during the injection, contact your healthcare provider or Novo Nordisk at startWegovy.com or call Novo Nordisk Inc. at 1-833-934-6891.
The needle cover will lock when the pen is removed from your skin. You cannot stop the injection and restart it later.
People who are blind or have vision problems should not use the Wegovy pen without help from a person trained to use the pen.

How to use your Wegovy weight loss pen

Do not use your pen without receiving training from your healthcare provider. Make sure that you or your caregiver know how to give an injection with the pen before you start your treatment.
Read and follow the instructions so that you use your pen correctly:

Step 1. Prepare for your injection.

Supplies you will need to give your Wegovy injection:
Wegovy pen
one alcohol swab or soap and water
1 gauze pad or cotton ball
1 sharps disposable container
Wash your hands.
Check your Wegovy pen.
Do not use your pen if:
The pen appears to have been used, or any part of the pen appears broken, for example, if it has been dropped.
The Wegovy medicine is not clear and colorless through the pen window.
The expiration date (EXP) has passed.

Step 2. Choose your injection site.

Your healthcare provider can help you choose the injection site that is best for you
You may inject into your upper legs (front of the thighs) or lower stomach (keep 2 inches away from your belly button).
Another person may give the injection in the upper arm.
Do not inject into an area where the skin is tender, bruised, red, or hard. Avoid injecting into areas with scars or stretch marks.
You may inject in the same body area each week, but make sure it is not in the same spot each time.

Clean the injection site with an alcohol swab or soap and water. Do not touch the injection site after cleaning.

Step 3. Remove the pen cap.

Pull the pen cap straight off your pen.

Step 4. Inject Wegovy.

Push the pen firmly against your skin until the yellow bar has stopped moving.
If the yellow bar does not start moving, press the pen more firmly against your skin.
You will hear two clicks during the injection.
Click 1: the injection has started.
Click 2: the injection is ongoing.

Step 5. Throw away (dispose of) the pen.

Safely dispose of the Wegovy pen immediately after each use. See How do I throw away (dispose of) Wegovy pens?

What if blood appears after injection?

If blood appears at the injection site, press the site lightly with a gauze pad or cotton ball.

How do I throw away (dispose of) Wegovy pens?

Put the used Wegovy weight loss pen in an FDA-cleared sharps disposal container right away after use. Do not throw away (dispose of) the pen in your household trash.

If you do not have an FDA-cleared sharps disposal container, you may use a household container that is:

made of a heavy-duty plastic,
able to be closed with a tight-fitting, puncture-resistant lid, without sharps being able to come out,
upright and stable during use,
leak-resistant, and
properly labeled to warn of hazardous waste inside the container.
