Understanding air bubbles in the Ozempic pen
Noticing small air bubbles in your Ozempic pen is common—and nothing to worry about. Here's what causes them, whether they impact your treatment, and how to handle them with confidence.
Why air bubbles appear
Air bubbles can form due to handling or during the priming process. They may come from the air inside the pen’s chamber or slight variations in medication flow. The pen is designed to work safely even with small bubbles present.
Do they affect the medication?
No, air bubbles do not impact the effectiveness of Ozempic. The medication remains fully active, and small bubbles do not interfere with proper delivery during injection.
Are air bubbles dangerous?
No. Small air bubbles injected under the skin during subcutaneous injections are harmless. The body simply absorbs them without causing any health issues.
Final thoughts
Small air bubbles in the Ozempic pen are normal and safe. As long as you follow the proper priming steps and dosage instructions, your treatment will remain effective. If you ever feel unsure or notice anything unusual, don’t hesitate to contact the Vi-Lifestyle medical team for support.
