My friend gave me permission to share her husbands story! They don’t want it to happen to any one else. The ER told them that they’re seeing this happen more. So I’m hoping this will prevent this! Comment below if this helped you! Xoxo, Karli
If you are wanting to start Semaglutide or Tirzepatide go to stan.store/Kar... 🥰 So excited for you!

My first Rx did not come with the dosing instruction card, which would have been extremely helpful. I watched several videos on KZfaq and Googled instructions. I’m so glad your friend is doing better.

TLDR: It is important to learn how to properly read a syringe for taking GLP-1 medication in order to avoid medication overdose and ensure safe administration. 00:00 👀 If you're taking a GLP-1 medication, it's common to feel sick, even with a small first dose. 00:38 👩‍⚕ Misunderstanding the syringe measurement led to a medication overdose and hospitalization. 01:19 👩‍⚕ Learn how to read a syringe for taking GLP-1 medication, even if you're not a nurse. 01:47 🔍 The smaller syringe holds 30 units and it's easy to see where five units is on it. 02:27 💉 Different GLP-1 medications have different doses, so it's important to follow your prescribed dosage and not compare with others. 03:05 🔍 Ask for help from your provider or care team if you're unsure about reading a syringe for GLP-1 medication. 03:47 👩‍⚕ Take GLP-1 medication safely and reach out for help if needed.

I can see how people get confused. I just started semaglutide (.25) but 6 years ago I did multiple rounds of IVF and we had classes, videos and nurses which would show us each cycle how much to draw up and how to manage mixing and injections. I felt super confident about injecting myself. My only problem is each day I have the urge to inject! 😅 you get so used to the cycle schedule of daily shots it is weird to only do it once a week! This vid is great. I watched many like these during my IVF journey and it really helps and gives people confidence.

At 0.25mg does that literally mean you’re only going to 2.5 units?

Thank you so much for this information! That is so scary, I'm glad he is doing better. I just received my first dose and am doing tons of research before starting because I'm nervous. I did not have an instruction card for dosing, just a video on how to do the injection. I am still nervous to start even though it probably won't hurt.

When you say “5 units” does that mean 0.5mg? I just want to make sure. I keep reading that the dosages are 0.25mg,0.5mg,1mg and 2mg. If 0.5mg=5 units, then 0.25mg=2.5 units obviously? Thank you for this video!

Ok. My dosage is 0.5 mg. How much is that in a syringe that goes up to 50 units on one side where as and other side shows cc/mm and full draw back would be 0. 5 on that side which is a full syringe. Thanks

You don’t open it. There’s a little top soft spot that you put the needle into, flip the bottle and draw it out.

@MsSevenkisses 2 ай бұрын

We are using a syringe because our doctors prescribe it in a tiny bottle that we have to pull the medicine out of it to inject. We don't get "pens', From what I understand, the syringes are less expensive for the patient.

Why the hell are you guys even entertaining the word units. Instead of talking about milliliters and milligrams. The potency of the drug also matters because different drugs have different potencies per milliliter.!
