I can't find 4mm syringes anywhere?

I use these. https://www.shdmedical.co.uk/needles/bbraun-omnican-1ml-30g-syringe-individually-blister-packed/

They don't have to be 4mm long. The needle is longer than the pen needles so if you've not got a huge roll of fat on your stomach like I have, just insert it at 45 degrees instead of straight in.
But you don't have to stick the full length in.

I just got normal diabetic needle and syringe pack from my local pharmacy.

Beware of ordering from Amazon as they're not always sterile or fit to be used by humans.
They're labelled measuring tools not syringes because of this.

I asked and they said they only have caps for insulin pens

I've been to like 5 different pharmacies. Best to try independent ones. I explained that my pen isn't working and I need something to draw the medication out. They looked at me like some sort of druggie 😅 until I showed my mounjaro prescription. Apparently it is not something they normally sell but they did it for me
