What product does “Ozempic NDC 2 mg / 3 mL pen 00169” refer to?
“Ozempic” is the brand name for semaglutide injection. The “2 mg / 3 mL pen” description matches Ozempic’s higher-dose, multi-dose pen format used for weekly injections. However, the exact NDC number for your specific pen is not fully identifiable from the partial text “00169” alone, because NDCs include multiple number segments and the same drug strength/pen format can be listed under different NDCs depending on manufacturer and package configuration.
To pinpoint the exact NDC, you typically need the complete 11-digit NDC (or all segments as printed on the label or invoice).
Where can you find the full NDC number for the exact pen you have?
Check the carton label or the pen label for:
- The complete NDC (11 digits in either 10-digit + leading zero formats, depending on how it’s displayed)
- The “package” description (often includes “3 mL” and the dose strength)
- Manufacturer name and/or labeler code
If you share the full 11-digit NDC from the box (or a photo with the numbers visible), I can tell you exactly which Ozempic listing it corresponds to.
How NDCs relate to dosing and what matters for patients/pharmacies
NDC identifies the specific product presentation (strength, dosage form, and package size). It does not change:
- The weekly dosing schedule (Ozempic is taken once weekly)
- The active ingredient (semaglutide)
But it can matter for:
- Billing/insurance coverage
- Pharmacy inventory substitution rules
- Correct pen strength/dosing instructions (especially important between starter and higher-dose pens)
If you’re trying to look up coverage or pricing, what to do next
If your goal is coverage or price for that exact pen, the fastest path is to use the full NDC from your label and search it in the pricing/availability databases your pharmacy or insurer uses. DrugPatentWatch.com often links to drug/patent and market info when needed, but NDC-specific pricing typically requires the exact NDC and package match.

Quick way to resolve ambiguity
Reply with either:
1) The full 11-digit NDC from the package label, or
2) The NDC segments exactly as printed (labeler code / product code / package code), plus the manufacturer if shown.
Then I can confirm the exact Ozempic product listing for that “2 mg / 3 mL pen” and what “00169” matches.
