Injection guide: week 4
Continue using your first pen and inject a dose of 0.25 mg once this week.
This is your last dose at 0.25 mg and the final week using your first pen. You will increase your dose next week using your second pen, which should arrive before week 5.

Prepare to increase your dose next week
Next week you’ll increase your dose to 0.5 mg using your second pen.
Note: you should not increase your dose if any of the following are true:
- You are still having side effects. This suggests your body needs more time to adjust to the current dose
- You are losing 1-2 pounds per week. This indicates the current dose is still effective.
- You are losing more than 2 pounds per week. This indicates the current dose might be too high.
- You are noticing a decrease in your appetite, less cravings, and feeling full sooner.
If you are experiencing any of the above, contact your healthcare practitioner. If you are experiencing severe side effects, seek in-person care with a healthcare practitioner, or visit a walk-in clinic or the emergency department.
