Mounjaro Help

[MrsAA]

Hi, quick question about Mounjaro.

I started it last week at 2.5, I primed the pen as instructed.

My question, the pen contains 4 doses, do I need to prime the pen before every dose?

I think I do but just want to make sure!

Thanks ☺️

It should have a Patient Information Leaflet in the box @MrsAA , but I would be very surprised if you didn’t have to. When on insulin injections I always had to prime, and that was injecting several times during the same day, not several days apart.

@goodybags - did you get told to prime before each injection?

It does have a leaflet and it says before use, but I don’t know if that means before every use..I’m sure it does but I just don’t want to get it wrong

Hello,

I am on Mounjaro, I prime the pen before each injection, there is extra in the pen to allow for this.

You should use a fresh needle each time - and each new needle needs to be primed.

Yes you do. Works like a dream...gets rid of rumbling tummies and food noise

I’d suggest reading the leaflet in the box of every single medication you take, including this one. It will tell you what to do.

There's more than enough in the pen to prove before each dose - good luck. I'm now on 10mg take care
