Loss of golden dose!

[TheGreyBee]

Just wondering how others are managing the loss of the ‘golden dose’. I have come back to Mounjaro after a break and about to find out exactly what is left in my pen. I’m thinking of just using the little bit left anyway knowing it’s a much reduced dose before starting my new pen. Will that really make a difference?

In the past I’ve missed a dose whilst on holiday and didn’t gain weight.

Would anyone like to share their thoughts 🤔

It's such a small amount, I would add it to the 4th week and have a stronger week.

I got 0.3ml out of the pen after doing 4 normal doses. I used that and then also did 30 clicks from the next pen to make a full dose. Once I’ve done 3 more doses from the new pen there should be enough left for an extra full dose. That makes it an extra dose every other pen rather than per pen.

That’s genius thankyou, don’t think the manufacturers thought this through

Did you manage to extract the final 0.3ml with clicking the pen or did you have to resort to using a syringe?

@Katalica i used a syringe, which is what I usually do to get the leftover medication out for a fifth dose.

If youre using a higher strength pen than the dose you are actually taking, for example taking 2.5mg from a 5mg pen or 5mg from 10mg pen then that remaining 0.3ml is actually your whole dose.

Great idea. Thank you 🙏

Yes exactly - each pen will be 9 doses.

so how do you know how much is in your golden dose?

I’m new to this and have just done my 4th pen but have some left.

Use a syringe to draw it out and see what it says on the syringe.
