What comes in the box with my GLP-1 medication?
GLP-1 medication boxes contain everything needed for administration except alcohol swipes. Semaglutide (Ozempic/Wegovy) includes: the pen device prefilled with medication, disposable pen needles (usually 4-6 per box), patient information leaflet, and instructions for use. The pen contains multiple doses - 4 weekly doses for Ozempic, 4 doses for Wegovy. Tirzepatide (Mounjaro/Zepbound) similarly includes: the pen device with multiple doses, needles, and instructions. Pens are single-patient use but multi-dose. Needles are sterile, single-use, and attach to the pen for each injection. Boxes also contain: storage instructions, disposal information for used needles, QR codes linking to injection training videos, and manufacturer contact information. Some boxes include dose-tracking cards to help remember when doses were taken. No separate sharps container is provided - you'll need to obtain one separately for safe needle disposal. Keep the box and insert for reference until you've used all doses.
