Summary:

      This study in healthy men and women compares the injection site experience of the DV3396 pen
      to that of the PDS290 pens when both pens are used to deliver 0.25 mg semaglutide
      subcutaneously (sc, under the skin). Participants will receive 2 single doses of semaglutide
      0.25 mg on 1 day. The 2 injections will be given at least 30 minutes apart, one in each side
      of the stomach. Participants will be in the clinic research center for 1 day. A follow-up
      phone call will take place between 4 and 5 weeks after the injections were given.
