Confusion with dosage

Post image

I’m incredibly confused by this dosage, is it just the amount per ml increases? Or am I supposed to increase something, I’m officially on week 5 and so confused

I get why you are confused, as most people seem to increase the volume of the med as the dose increases. But your doctor is increasing the concentration (mg per ml) so you will always be taking the same volume(25 units) but the medication will get stronger each month.

That doesn’t sound correct. The medication and concentration is the same in all pens, you just inject less of the medication for 0.25 and you need to inject four times the amount of 0.25 to make it to 1.0.
