Here in the UK the mounjaro dosing pen lasts for 4 doses. But I’ve always used the 5th dose ( the left over “golden dose” in the mounjaro kwikpen.

But then they changed the pen so you couldn’t use the plunger. So we bought insulin needles to remove it ( and I got the 0.6 dose)

And now… after what they have done with the price they go a step further and say ok we are taking that away so you are now getting less medication for mo’ money.

New Mounjaro price squeeze: Pen size will be REDUCED

The pre-filled injection pens are currently 3ml in size and designed to deliver a fixed amount of the drug once a week, typically over four weeks.

Mounjaro manufacturer confirms 'golden dose' is being removed

The KwikPen packs four doses in the 3ml injectable pen, but some weight loss jab users tried to eke out a fifth 'golden' dose

www.ladbible.com

“Olivier Picard, chairman of the National Pharmacy Association, told The Independent he was “very concerned”, calling the method “completely inappropriate” and potentially dangerous for users”

What about empowered and informed patients as the expert? Because kwikpen users are obviously too stupid to look at a label and measure out a dose using an insulin needles which is actually stated on the label and the box . Talk about patronising and belittling 😒 all these scaremongering stories that are swirling.
