I'm surprised they didn't say to use an alcohol swab on the injection site.

[@kasiak1288]

This isn’t necessary. The same as using insuline. You do not didinfrcf the area

[@maudestinelimbrick2445]

[@kenstapler9146]

Mounjaro has made it to expensive to get this now

[@jen5205]

How firmly is this meant to be pressed against skin? I keep getting leakage (more than a small drop) after the injection and i never did when using ozempic.

[@marilynh.]

I started today -switched from 2mg Ozempic to 10 mg Mounjaro. I didn't read the instructions thinking the pen injection was the same as the Ozempic pen. I unlocked, injected but I did not hold the pen on my skin because the injection was quick. The gray plunger became visible after my injection- but did I get my full dose? Or how do I know if I got my dose? I did feel the sting afterwards.

[@joeking433]

why did you switch fro 2 to 10?

[@Nezello]

All I wanted to know is how soon after you take it out of the refrigerator can you inject, does it being cold prevent it's flow?

[@ldkellandshaw]

No, it does not.I take mine out of the fridge and inject immediately with no issues.

[@RB-po7oy]

Followed these instructions exactly, watched the video before we did anything, and the stuff shot out all over, as soon as we uncapped it. Well, my husband doesn't need thyroid cancer anyway.

Your husband’s a rat?

[@sprady17]

What is the procedure to take it in flight? Can I keep in hand luggage. Do I need any special permission to take it with me.

[@witatter1]

You shouldn’t need any special permission as long as you’re traveling within the US. Other countries may require something from your doctor stating the medication you take, dosage, etc. Edited to add: I always take my medications in my carry on bag just in case my luggage is lost I’d still have my meds with me.

[@sprady17]

@@witatter1 thanks

[@dandiddly4970]

Do I still have to hold it for ten seconds if I felt the second click?

[@DestroyerWill]

[@Claire-77]

No I didn't feel a thing, I was nervous though first time

[@MrCarnivoure]

[@SCBI75]

How many times can one injection pen be used ?

[@angelastaley9297]

Once

[@buckrhodes1014]

1 time dispense safely.

[@marilynh.]

Never ever use any needle more than ONE time.

[@joeking433]

It's not like Ozempic, it's a one-use pen and you get 4 in a box.

[@JoshyWins]

Weird, my pen has 4 doses.. Is that the old pen?

[@michaelflaherty3202]

Wow, that’s some amazing contortions to turn 30 seconds of content into 13 minutes of drivel. Don’t blink or you might miss the useful parts.
