🧪 Understanding Concentration Differences

🥄🥣Think of concentration like cooking or baking.
If you dissolve 2 tablespoons of sugar in 1/4 cup of hot water, the concentration is higher than if you dissolve the same 2 tablespoons in 1 cup of water. In both cases, the total amount of sugar remains the same, but the amount of liquid you need to consume to ingest all 2 tablespoons differs—either 1/4 cup or 1 cup, depending on the concentration.

➡️ The dosage of Semaglutide remains the same—for example, if you are taking 1mg of Semaglutide.
You will simply refer to the dosage charts in the RX Summary to determine the correct volume to draw for your 1mg dose.

🩹 The amount of liquid you inject may vary depending on the pharmacy’s concentration, but you are still receiving the same amount of Semaglutide.
