Good morning! I've finally found the courage to order some Mounjaro injections and now I'm panicking about what else I need to source.

Does a sharps bin come with them? If not where do I get one from please?

I can see from different threads that some people take electrolytes and multivitamins too. Are these advisable?

What else do I need that I don't know about please?

Thank you!

When I ordered with Asda Online Doctor, there was an option to include a sharps bin with the order - perhaps your prescriber did the same? You can also order them from Amazon, the one that Asda sent me was a SharpsGuard 1 litre yellow one.

Multivitamins are a good idea in general if you're on a weight-loss diet. Other than that, I wouldn't spend any money up front on things like electrolytes until you see how you go on the first few injections/weeks.

There wasn't an option to buy a sharps bin no - I ordered through MedExpress as the cheapest place I could find. Good to know I can but them from Amazon, thank you for that information!

Medexpress send you the sharps bin and needles when you buy their starter dose, and send needles with every order thereafter.
It is advisable to take multivitamins as with appetite suppression you may struggle initially to change your diet to one that's naturally has all the essentials.
Electrolytes, that's up to you. I've never needed them.

Good to know MedExpress do send one, thank you for that information! I'll hang fire on ordering one then.
