Based on the information available, there is no explicit guidance from the manufacturer of Ozempic, Novo Nordisk, that specifically addresses the interchangeable use of Ozempic in the mornings and evenings. The prescribing information for Ozempic states that it can be administered once weekly, on the same day each week, at any time of day, with or without meals [1].
However, it is important to note that consistency in the timing of administration is generally recommended for many medications, including Ozempic, to maintain a stable drug concentration in the body. Therefore, while there may be no harm in interchanging the timing of Ozempic administration, it is recommended to consult with a healthcare provider for personalized advice [2].
In conclusion, while there is no explicit guidance against interchanging the use of Ozempic in the mornings and evenings, it is generally recommended to maintain consistency in the timing of administration.
