Based on the information available, there is no definitive answer as to whether the dosage of Ozempic would need to be changed if a patient were to switch from morning to evening injections. The prescribing information for Ozempic does not provide specific guidance on this matter [1].
However, it is important to note that Ozempic's manufacturer, Novo Nordisk, states that Ozempic can be administered at any time of day, with or without food [2]. This suggests that a change in injection time is not expected to have a significant impact on the drug's efficacy or safety.
That being said, individual patient circumstances and responses can vary, and therefore, any changes to a medication regimen should be discussed with and approved by a healthcare provider.
In conclusion, while there is no specific mention of dosage changes when switching from morning to evening injections, Ozempic can be administered at any time of day. As always, it is crucial to consult with a healthcare provider when considering any changes to a medication regimen.
