A few important notes

  • Never adjust your dose on your own.

  • If you have questions about your current dose or how to take your medication, please reach out to your member success team.

  • Units does not indicate the dose you are receiving. The mg (milligrams) on your prescription refers to the amount or strength of medication you’re taking. The mL (milliliters) and units on your syringe both measure volume, meaning how much liquid you draw into the syringe.

  • Here’s a short video that explains mg vs mL vs units in a clear, visual way:
