A very stupid question.

Ok. I’ve name changed to ask this as I’m so embarrassed to have to ask 😂
i ordered needles to use with my Mounjaro pen as a) I’d run out of the needles that come with the pen and b) I was splitting the dose.
I ordered needles that look a lot like the attached image but have suddenly thought- how do I know how much to take?! What amount am I supposed to extract from the pen?
I don’t want to take too much. Someone help me 😁

A very stupid question.

Each full dose from any strength pen is always 0.6ml of liquid. So then it depends on what strength pen you have and what dose you want to use.

Thanks, that makes sense. So, when I extract from the pen I just need to make sure it’s no more than 0.6ml.

If you want a full dose from the pen, yes. If you want a larger dose then you can calculate what volume you would need based on the pen strength.

I wouldn't use needles from Amazon as a lot of them aren't sterile tbh

Have you read the reviews for those needles? Do not put them in your body Sad

You can get better needles direct from a pharmacy rather than amazon. By the way I found I actually prefer injecting from a syringe than from the pen which is weird because the needle is quite a bit bigger.
