Click counting and "expiry"
Hey guys, about 3 weeks into Mounjaro now. I wouldn’t say it’s been life changing for me, but definitely more of a lifestyle improvement. Biggest issue is just the cost.
I had a question about higher-dose pens and wanted to see if anyone here has experience with it.
In theory, what’s stopping someone from getting prescribed a higher dose pen (for example 15mg) and manually drawing out smaller doses with an insulin syringe, like taking 2.5mg at a time?
Would you basically just puncture the membrane and draw it out that way?
Main thing I’m wondering about is storage/longevity. I know the official guidance says around 30 days once opened, but realistically would it actually stay stable for much longer if it’s kept refrigerated and handled properly?
The reason I’m asking is because if 15mg could safely be split into 2.5mg doses, it would work out dramatically cheaper for me — roughly around $32 a week instead of 90
Just curious if anyone has done this or spoken to their doctor/pharmacist about it.
(was prescribed due to binge eating formally currently at 65 kilos started at 97 kilos and lost all of it without any medical help but if i could go back in time and had this then i would defo be on it)
