Calculating doses

My husband and I have been on Mounjaro for a while. He's only ever stayed on 2.5mg whereas I have continued to increase mine, I'm currently on 7.5. However, I am going to start to bring my dose down as I have reached my target weight.

Question - can I split my 7.5mg pen between the 2 of us, using our own, clean syringes obviously. I'd like to drop down to 5mg and he can take the 2.5mg until we have used up this last pen.

I understand 0.6ml is a full dose, so 7.5mg. Would this calculation work?

0.4ml for me = 5mg
0.2ml for my husband = 2.5mg?

Dose required divided by dose of pen x 60

5/7.5. x 60 = 0.4 or 40 clicks
2.5/7.5 x 60 = 0.2 or 20 clicks

Great, thank you!
