How to take Mounjaro lower dose by counting clicks from 15mg Mounjaro Kwikpen?

[@Cathy-r8f]

Hello, thank you very much for the clear and helpful demonstration. I love the idea of marking the pen at the right number of clicks for different doses. Thank you for posting

Such a nice, clear and well done explanation and video. Thanks a lot . Greetings from Brazil.

Thanks for the amazing instructions, does it expire after 4 weeks ? I store it in the fridge

[@alexausberlin]

I suggest sterilising the top of the pen to extend the expiry time of 30 days after first use

Yes, I agree with you but in the US we don’t have Mounjaro quick pens. I wish this was possible. I have used Ozempic and the pens are multi use.

[@Andrewg1378]

Thanks for the amazing instructions If im using the 15mg pen and only having 2.5mg weekly for the first 4 weeks, will it be 10 clicks from 0 for the first dose, and then 10 clicks from the 0 for the second dose as well? Or is it an additional 10 clicks from the 0 now (ie 20 clicks total)?

[@Endo-Diabetes-Simplified]

@Andrewg1378 please ensure you have your Endocrinologist supervision to decide about correct dosing. Yes, 10 clicks deliver about 2.5mg dose from the 15mg pen device. Please be mindful that the longer the duration of pen device after opening the lower can be efficacy of the molecule... usually after 6 to 8 weeks the company doesn't advise pen usage

So if I am getting 7.5 mg. And I have 15mg pen that means 15x4 plus extra dose means 75mg so I can get 10 doses. The pen is valid till expiry date if kept in the fridge bet 2-8 degrees. Aside from efficacy and side effects can the pen be rotated ten times for 10 doses? That will save almost 50% of the cost

[@Endo-Diabetes-Simplified]

@MoHussein-lm6dp you got it right. Please ensure you have your Endocrinologist supervision

[@mohamedhantera668]

Hello, Thanks for such amazing video. Im planning to get 15 mg pen and divide it to 8 doses 7.5 which means Im going to make 8 clicks. My question foes the pen support this or it has max of clicks =4 ??? Thanks in advance

[@coxyscastle]

30 clicks is 7.5mg out of a 15mg pen

[@adinlllebpmac6117]

Can you share the link to where Lilly states a UK kwikpen can be used for 6 weeks after first use. All patient instructions and Lilly websites state 30 days from first use. Obviously it makes sense to question instructions shared on youtube which contradict patient instructions and while I see many people saying "it will be fine" I have not seen actually credible information from Lilly.

[@DinasUmhassn]

Thanks for this demonstration, but the pen supposed to have an extra dose, so how to use it according to your instructions?

[@Endo-Diabetes-Simplified]

@DinasUmhassn any extra dose left in the pen should be used with new needle. The pen is usually perfectly fine to be used till 6 weeks Ensure child chain is maintained and you have endocrinologist supervision for ongoing usage with correct dosing regime

[@DinasUmhassn]

@@Endo-Diabetes-Simplified sure doctor I have extra new needles and I’m following with my doctor, I mean how to get use of the extra dose according to the clicks as you explained in this video?

[@Endo-Diabetes-Simplified]

@DinasUmhassn your dose will be decided by your doctor and adjusted as per response. I try to get maximum response from minimum dose to avoid side effects and prevent relapsed weight gain. It's best to always have starting dose of 0.25mg and go as per your response. It's best to discuss this with your endocrinologist. This demonstration was for someone who couldn't tolerate high dose and needed to take lower dose from the high dose pen. Later on they went on their higher dose as clinically needed

[@DinasUmhassn]

@@Endo-Diabetes-Simplified I really appreciate your response , Thank you doctor

[@milosnenadovic9086]

Can the click counter go forwards and backwards in a new kwikpen without damaging the mechanism inside it? (In case i count my dosage wrongly and i need to recount it). Thank you!

[@Endo-Diabetes-Simplified]

@@milosnenadovic9086 yes it does

[@milosnenadovic9086]

Thank you for the quick answer ​@@Endo-Diabetes-Simplified! After my first dose yesterday (which was half a dose of the 5mg Kwikpen), I started getting pains today accros my body. It is nothing that stops me from moving or doing any other function so i dont feel bad but i have a hypersensitivity in my body (for example the weight of the shirt that i am wearing on my sholders hurts). Is this a regular effect of taking mounjaro? Of course I will consult with my doctor, but I wanted to check if you have any insight into this situation as well. Thanks!

[@leandromodolo5007]

If the product should be used in 6 weeks what the benefit of buy a 15mg pen for using 2.5mg each week?

[@bigbocapedro]

Most likely your insurance charges you the same amount for any dosage

[@martinblair9749]

This is maybe a stupid question. But isn’t the 2.5/5/7.5/10/12.5/15mg the strengths of the dose? So would taking half of a 15mg pen dose have the exact same affect as 7.5mg pen x 1 dose? If yes then why wouldn’t everyone buy a 15mg pen and use the relevant clicks to dose at 2.5/5/7.5 etc and save a bunch of money?

[@martinblair9749]

I realise there’s an expiration date but and it supposed to be used within 30 days but the expiry dates are for next year sometimes

[@kirstykirsty3541]

Because big pharma wouldn’t be making loads of money if everyone knew they could do that .

[@coxyscastle]

Because apparently the pen only lasts 30days after first use.

[@jaybrodi9029]

please explain formula for 5mg pen? thanks for this great video

[@alexausberlin]

60 Klicks for a full dose. 30 for half of it

[@shirleyhastings1003]

Can you increase the clicks? I'm on 7.5 & it's not really working & I've ordered 7.5 again when I should've ordered the 10.mg

[@Endo-Diabetes-Simplified]

@shirleyhastings1003 after 4 weeks you should get clinical judgement from your endocrinologist to decide about dose escalation. I normally avoid dose increases and utilise other mechanisms along with same dose of mounjaro to avoid treatment failure or weight regain. Please discuss with your endocrinologist further advice

Hi I have 5 mg pen for one months can I use same pen instead for two month . I just want to use 2.5gm every weak . And what will happen if i use same pen for two months . Thank you

[@Endo-Diabetes-Simplified]

@zulaikhabasharat5118 the recommendation from company is not to exceed usage beyond 6 weeks as efficacy of molecule is questionable if device used longer than 6 weeks... however patients have used it for up to 8 weeks. As long as you have your endocrinologist supervision, storage is correct, fluid is clear and clinical response is good, you may be OK 👍 But ensure you have your endocrinologist endorsing your dosing decision

[@BuddyLove-tc2oo]

Hello, I have a 5mg pen but it’s too strong for me. The 2.5mg dose is too weak. Can you help me understand how many clicks I would need to dispense 3.5mg. Thank you 🙏

[@Endo-Diabetes-Simplified]

It's not a licenced dose but if tolerance issues exist you may try 45 clicks on your Mounjaro 5mg pen which will be more than 2.5mg but less than 5mg

Anyone has used the same mounjaro 15mg pen for longer the 6 weeks. Is the medication still effective or it doesn’t work anymore? It is cheaper for me to buy 50 mg pen to use over period of two months.

[@Endo-Diabetes-Simplified]

@saromaz6952 , ensure you have supervision of your endocrinologist to judge your clinical response. You don't want to be injecting a chemical in your body while not knowing what's it doing, esp if the usage is beyond the recommended box instructions and efficacy of molecule is questionable.

[@Endo-Diabetes-Simplified]

@ninaplei8519 people have used it off licence use, but efficiency can't be guaranteed after 6 weeks. That's why supervision of your endocrinologist is important for your own safety and getting adequate clinical response.

[@annoyme2697]

I’ve used mine for longer and it definitely still worked. In U.K. they’re now coming with an added sheet of paper to say they’ve got a longer shelf life. Also look on the side of the pen and it will say the expiry date (my one I’ve just finished Aug 24 says expiry date Jan 25. I don’t know about Mounjaro, but the wegovy instructions say you shouldn’t use if the liquid is cloudy.

[@Endo-Diabetes-Simplified]

@annoyme2697 thank you for sharing experience... yes, never inject the drug if fluid cloudy

[@jakejoyride]

injecting less liquid means that medication do not work as intended because you have less medication in your dermal layer and it absorb differently so this is stupid idea

[@coxyscastle]

No it doesn’t
