How to inject Ozempic safely: injection sites (abdomen, thigh, upper arm), pen technique, needle disposal, missed doses, and in-person training at Stree Clinic, Durbarmarg.
How Ozempic pen injection is taught at consultation: site rotation (abdomen, thigh, upper arm), pen handling and needle disposal, the weekly-day routine, storage before and after first use, and what to check before each dose. Injection technique is demonstrated in person at Stree Clinic — never self-learned from a video alone.

Ozempic is a once-weekly injection under the skin (abdomen, thigh, or upper arm), using the pre-filled pen. At RamroDoctor, the pen technique is demonstrated in person at Stree Clinic — you learn with the doctor or nurse before your first dose, and you never inject unsupervised until trained.
Subcutaneous (under the skin) sites: the abdomen (at least 5cm from the navel), the front of the thigh, or the back of the upper arm. Rotate injection sites each week to avoid lumps and skin irritation. Your clinic shows you the exact technique at your consultation.
Most patients report little to no pain — the needle is very fine and short, and the injection takes only seconds. Patients at RamroDoctor are trained in person on correct pen handling so the first injection is done confidently and correctly.
The same day each week, at any time that suits you — with or without meals. Pick a consistent day and set a reminder. Your exact schedule comes from the clinic; if you need to change the day, your doctor tells you how to do it safely.
General guidance: if you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember within 5 days; if more than 5 days have passed, skip it and take the next dose on your usual day. Never take a double dose. Confirm your specific instruction with the clinic.
Ozempic pens come pre-filled and pre-set — you attach a fresh needle, check the flow as instructed, dial your prescribed dose, and inject. Needles are single-use and disposed of safely in a sharps container or puncture-proof bottle, not household waste. The clinic demonstrates every step.
A trained family member can help with upper-arm injections if you cannot reach or see the site comfortably — the clinic can train them too. Many patients self-inject in the abdomen or thigh without assistance once trained.
Never put loose needles in household waste. Collect them in a rigid puncture-proof container (a sharps box or a thick plastic bottle with a screw lid) and return it to the clinic or ask the team about safe disposal options in Kathmandu.
