Monjoruno needle heads??

I'm meant to start tonight but just picked up my script and there's no needle heads for my kwikpen. I have 32g 4mm ones from other medications, does anyone know if these are ok to use. Should there be needle heads in the box??

Thanks

Yes there should have been needles given to you separately by the pharmacy. Not in the box with with pen itself. Yes 32g 4mm ones are correct and should fit the pen. You should let the pharmacy know that they didn’t fulfil your order properly and get them to send you some more needles.

Ah thanks. It was prescribed by my diabetes team so they know I have needle heads already so that's probably why

NHS scripts need the needles to be prescribed separately. If you have them from your diabetes pen they should be universal fit.

Ah ok, was assuming it was a private prescription for weight loss.
