Taking 6.25mg from a 5mg pen?

[jan2310]

I’m a bit nervous about going straight up to 7.5 but I’m not
losing any weight on 5mg. If I want to take 6.25 from a 5mg pen do I take the 5mg as normal, then by counting clicks inject another 1.25? Is it ok to do 2 injections at once, and should I change the needle?

thanks for any advice!

I do this, but sterile wipe and change to a fresh needle before counting clicks carefully for the 2nd shot. I’ve not experienced any problems

You could take 4.5mg every 5 days. (54 clicks) That's the equivalent of 6.3mg every 7 days.

Thanks both for the advice.

Exactly what I do. I treat it as a completely new injection, brand new needle for the 2nd dose and use another sterile wipe.

Thanks everyone for replies, I think I’ll do 2 shots and change the needle.
