Mounjaro Golden dose
I am on my fifth week of Mounjaro 2.5, and realized that I had to take a fifth dose before meeting my endo this week.
Last week I noticed that there was still some medicine left and then searched about it and came to know about the "golden dose", the extra medicine which is left in KwikPen, to account for priming and spillage.
So I saw a couple of videos and extracted the golden dose in an insulin pen. It was slightly more than 0.6ml. So after priming and spilling a bit, I think I still had slightly more than 0.6ml.
The only challenging part is that an insulin needle is longer, so I had to insert it halfway and then hold it with one hand while pressing with the other. Eventually I guessed I saved Rs 3000.
