Your PCP gives you a script that gets filled at a pharmacy. It will have a months’ worth of shots, depending on your dosage which you dial up. It’s a very tiny needle, and you self administer. I could even do it and I’m terrified of needles!

I also have serious doubts as to whether you’re getting actual Ozempic. Please see your PCP or other genuine doctor.

Good luck.
