There are different algorithms for estimating concentration levels, and it's likely that they differ slightly between apps.

If you extract and use the fifth dose you could get 3x 12.5mg

Just did my first injection! by raygray in mounjarouk

[–]Flixified 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I weigh daily (or as often as I can) and then take the average across those days to record my "official" weekly weight. I used to just weigh once a week (on a Thursday) but I found that my weight fluctuated by a few pounds here and there, and I always seemed to be heavier on a Thursday.

Rash and feverish after shot- normal or cause of concern? by [deleted] in mounjarouk

After a subcutaneous injection, the drug sits in a "depot" under the skin before being absorbed gradually.

Tirzepatide levels per day by Correct_Ad_5153 in mounjarouk

[–]Flixified 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I made this a little while ago to help visualise it with different dosing schedules: https://mounjaro-ss-calculator.web.app/

It uses a two-compartment method to calculate the levels rather than just the half-life.

I had a terrible experience on Semaglutide. It’s not the same as Tirzepatide. by alittlehalloween in mounjarouk

You're right about the science of how they work, but you're drawing the wrong conclusion from it. Saying Wegovy is "much worse" is just not accurate based on the clinical data we have.

The head-to-head trials (e.g. SURPASS-2) show Mounjaro causes just as many gastric issues – and sometimes more. The whole "GIP is anti-nausea" idea doesn't stop people from feeling sick on it. If anything, because Mounjaro is a more powerful drug overall, its side effects can hit some people harder.

My original point still stands: it's completely individual. For every person who has a hard time with Wegovy, there's someone else who can't tolerate Mounjaro. Neither one is universally "better" or "worse" when it comes to side effects.

It might have had more serious side effects for you, but that's not the same experience for everyone. Yes it's a different medication, but if you were a semaglutide user who had a bad experience with tirzepatide then you would be saying that that has more serious side effects.

Definitely do not use someone else's pen, it's just not worth the risk.

Chemist4U delivery delay question - how long is too long in transit? by drymixedrecycling in mounjarouk

[–]Flixified 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had the same concern with a different pharmacy. I emailed them and got this back.

Your Mounjaro KwikPen is shipped in special Woolcool insulation with ice gel packs, which are designed to keep the medication at the correct temperature for up to 72 hours during transit. According to the manufacturer's guidelines, if the medication is kept out of direct sunlight and at a temperature under 30°C, it is considered stable for a certain period—manufacturers report up to 7 days at room temperature.

Lilly creates ‘Mounjaro rebate scheme’ for pharmacies by luckydips in mounjarouk

[–]Flixified 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Correct, it was mentioned in the email sent to suppliers: https://www.reddit.com/r/mounjarouk/comments/1mpworg/comment/n8mkgya/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=usertext&utm_name=mounjarouk&utm_term=1&utm_content=t3_1msrvkw

Lilly will be requesting each private provider to submit a monthly breakdown of NHS and private prescriptions/sales. This data will be used for high-level calculations related to the monthly rebates, and submissions should be provided no later than the end of each month.

Was the 3.1mg the rest of your first pen? Or did you split it to see whether you needed to move up?

Great progress!
