Ozempic Pen: Your Diabetes Management Companion

Firstly, OZEMPIC Pen is a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 agonist). GLP-1 is a hormone that helps stimulate insulin secretion and lowers glucagon secretion. This will help your body lower its glucose levels because insulin helps the cells absorb your glucose, reducing the sugar in your blood and providing the cells with glucose for energy. Contrasting, glucagon tells the body to store the glucose making your blood sugar rise. Lowering glucagon function will decrease the sugar in your blood.

Secondly, OZEMPIC Pens are available for purchase through our online Canadian pharmacy Ozempic as a single patient use pen that delivers 0.25 mg or 0.5 mg per injection, or single patient use pen that delivers 1 mg per injection.
