Does this pen contain the ‘golden dose’?

Brand new, unused 15mg pen, just arrived from the provider, but I can’t tell if it contains the 5th dose. Wish I’d taken a photo of an old pen to compare!
Your help would be appreciated.

No, I don’t think so. Those pens have cycled out if I’m not mistaken.

BeautifulViolets · 28/08/2026 15:55

No, it has the larger black plunger so definitely no golden dose.

morbidcuriosity · 28/08/2026 15:56

Nope.. new pen there im afraid..

No it's just the 4. You can tell from the black spacer but also from the expiry date, those after 04/27 are generally new style.

Excuse me jumping on…. How about this one? It’s my first ever, and I’d assumed I’d missed the holder’s dose bus. Expiry 02/27

@PuzzledObserver that’s an old style pen I think. It doesn’t have the black spacer behind the plunger. Have you done three doses from it?

morbidcuriosity · 29/08/2026 14:22

@PuzzledObserver yes old pen. 4th shot left then the remaining is the extra liquid, so a little more than a dose..

Yes, I have. Well, that’s a bonus! Now I’ll have to look up how to get it out - I have seen instructions in several places, but didn’t pay attention becáis I assumed it was too late

Where did you buy it from?

I’m pretty strong, and was always able to get the bonus dose by hand, twisting the thingy with a lot of force.
Or you could use pliers or something.

This is what I did on my few pens with a golden dose. I didn't need to buy needles or anything, I just used my bare hands and twisted really hard.

@MoneyJo snap!
