Question about doses left in pen

4 replies

With my 5mg pen (which I had already ordered before having the week of awful side effects at the end of 2.5!) I have been using 45 clicks to dispense 3.75mg as was a bit worried to go right up to 5. Tonight my pen stopped clicking so forced it round and took the bonus dose. However there is still some liquid in the pen. May still throw it as I think it must be over 30 days of use but is there any way of finding how much it is if I do keep it? Would that involve sourcing some different needles, would anyone link them for me? Thanks! Hope everyone’s journeys going well. I’ve now lost just under 2 stones.

The only way to know for sure would be to draw it out into a syringe.
I use these for the 5th dose in each pen. https://www.shdmedical.co.uk/needles/bbraun-omnican-1ml-30g-syringe-individually-blister-packed/

Is there such a thing as more side effects suddenly in the last week of 2.5 @Aitchtee? On my last week and suddenly a bit dodgy having had no issues!

For me, I was in week 4 of the 2.5 minding my own business 🤣 and was floored. And I mean honestly floored- sickness like I’ve never experienced, stomach cramps, 💩 majorly, and generally unable to get out of bed! Was off work 2 days which is unheard of. I got better but felt like it wasn’t quite gone then it hit again (this time done in a few hours) and since then I’ve been totally fine.
I counted clicks to give 3.75 as I was worried after that!
