I’m wanting to use the extra / additional dose with diabetic needles or similar. However I’ve gone onto Amazon to order & they’re all different sizes. Does anyone know which ti use if I want a 0.6 ml dose?

I’m using Mounjaro if that makes a difference, thank you!

If you look at the "Continuing Mounjaro..." thread, there is a link to a website with hints and tips, one of which is a link to the kind of needles you would need, which is the link I've put on this post.

I didn't like the fact some people said the amazon ones are not all good, some blunt etc, they say measuring tools .
Obviously some people will disagree and say they are fine etc.
I ordered from UK medi think I got 10 for about 8 quid. 6mm needles. 32g. Fine.

@SilenceInside have you ordered those ones before, they say -

"One sterile sealed bag containing 10 BD MicroFine Plus 30G 1ml U100 syringes with needles will be shipped if you order 10 pieces."

Is it just a bad description and they are individually wrapped?

Can you link to the 6mm needles from UK medi (or similar) I can't find them, only found 8mm before.

These are the ones I have ordered 1ml 8mm 32G, but I haven't used yet.

No idea, not ever ordered or used them. I'm phobic of proper needles like that and couldn't use them. It's a medical supplier so I'm sure they will be sterile and properly packaged.

That's the type of needle you need, though. The volume, 1ml, the gauge 30g and the length 8mm. You can also get 1ml, 32g and 6mm as the PP has said.

I was on the lookout for 1ml 6mm (31G-32G) but could only find on amazon which I'm not comfortable using.

morbidcuriosity · 10/12/2024 15:02

My mistake. Mine were 8mm. The ones in that link. .
I was looking g for 6mm but they were amazon and I would choose to use the pharmacy website over amazon.
Think some people get 6mm and 5mm with their pens so 8mm not that much bigger.
I decided to get them as my thoughts are I am not wasting any as its expensive, but I've managed the hard twist each time so far, but my luck will run out eventually.

Yes you'll want the 1ml capacity ones in order to fit a whole .6ml dose in (there are some which are only .5ml capacity)

Mysticmaiden2024 · 10/12/2024 20:55

I got these too, they arrived very quickly.

littlefireseverywhere · 11/12/2024 09:53

Thank you for everyone’s help. I’ve now ordered some.
