Using a Wegovy pen beyond 30 days after opening?

I bought a 5mg wegovy pen where I can select the dose. I've started on .25 and it seems unbelievably wasteful to throw away a pen that's nearly full after I've used it 4 times. Does anyone keep using it past 30 days?

I keep using mounjaro pens for long after the 30 days. I know it’s not advised but I started doing it when the prices jumped and it’s been fine. I’m very careful with swabbing with a disinfectant wipe before putting on a new needle each time and in 2 years i haven’t had any issues. This isn’t advice to anyone else to do the same, but I figured it was better than stopping suddenly when Trump forced the manufacturers to put the prices up - it works for me at any rate.
