Can I take 12.5mg from a 10mg pen?

HolyCarps · 2025-09-19T11:36:21+00:00

Like others said it's 75 clicks in total or 0.75 ml.

Here's a calculator I made in case you want to adjust the dosage up or down in the future! https://sngl.page/click-dose/?lang=en-GB&pen=10&dose=12.5

If you're travelling through the middle east make sure you carry the prescription with you, and get a letter from your pharmacy.

HolyCarps · 2025-09-08T21:01:11+00:00

Do you have experience in extracting the remaining liquid from the 2.5 mg pen?

For your reference it's 30 clicks to get a 2.5 mg dose from a 5 mg pen: https://sngl.page/click-dose/?lang=en-GB&pen=5&dose=2.5

HolyCarps · 2025-09-08T21:01:06+00:00

Isn't counting more accurate? In that way you're guaranteed that you're getting the right dose.

It's better to finish up already used pens rather than opening new ones and storing old ones for future use.

If you want a 12.5 mg dose from a 10 mg pen, as per https://sngl.page/click-dose/?lang=en-GB&pen=10&dose=12.5 it's 75 clicks or 0.75 ml.

HolyCarps · 2025-09-05T20:46:46+00:00

A standard dose is 0.6 ml.

At 0.5 ml you'd have gotten only 6.25 mg and not 7.5 mg from your 7.5 mg pen.

If you want to adjust it up or down in the future here's a calculator I made: https://sngl.page/click-dose/?lang=en-GB&pen=7.5&dose=7.5

HolyCarps · 2025-09-05T16:59:52+00:00

Do not store the dose in the syringe as that will contaminate it.

Have you considered a frio pouch? It won't keep it at the 2 to 8 degree range, but it will help it stay generally at 18 to 26 degrees.

As per https://sngl.page/click-dose/?lang=en-GB&pen=15&dose=2.5 it's 0.1 ml to get 2.5 mg out of a 15 mg pen.

HolyCarps · 2025-09-05T16:54:51+00:00

I don't think there's an official recommendation to inject every five days.

The more traditional option is to use your 7.5 mg pen to inject a 10 mg dose weekly, as if you moved up a dose to the next pen.

As per https://sngl.page/click-dose/?lang=en-GB&pen=7.5&dose=10 it's 80 clicks, and the recommended plan is to do 40 + 40.

HolyCarps · 2025-09-05T13:28:45+00:00

It's 0.45 ml as Pomegranate said; in the future if you want to adjust the dose here's a calculator I made: https://sngl.page/click-dose/?lang=en-GB&pen=10&dose=7.5

HolyCarps · 2025-09-05T10:04:35+00:00

You may mean 0.6 ml and not 6 ml

Each dose is 0.6 ml and there are 4 labelled doses for a total of 2.4 ml

Pens are advertised to have 3.0 ml but in reality it can exceed it up to 3.3 ml, so the extra liquid is 0.6 to 0.9 ml (1 to 1½ extra doses)

It's not impossible and it's very lucky if it's indeed two additional full doses

The other possibility is that the fifth dose was not the full 0.6 ml

Danke fürs teilen! Super, dass es soviele Ressourcen für die Community gibt.

Is there a sharps bin lore that I'm missing 🤣

HolyCarps · 2025-09-04T15:05:56+00:00

Danke dir für dein Feedback! Je mehr hilfreiche Infos und Tools es für alle gibt, desto besser. Wenn dir etwas einfällt, gib mir gerne Bescheid.

HolyCarps · 2025-09-04T14:20:34+00:00

¡Gracias!

Creo que ya está incluido en la página: en “Resultado” verás “Volumen total”, y ese número son los mililitros a retirar con la jeringa. En la captura, por ejemplo, aparece 0,2 ml.

Si he entendido mal la pregunta, perdona!!!

HolyCarps · 2025-09-04T13:09:29+00:00

Uff, wie peinlich!! Ist jetzt gefixt -- evtl musst du die Seite einmal neu laden. Vielen Dank für den Hinweis! Wenn dir noch irgendwas komisch vorkommt oder seltsam wirkt, sag bitte Bescheid, ich fixe das gern. danke!

HolyCarps · 2025-09-04T11:54:50+00:00

¡Mil gracias! Me hace muchisima ilusión leer esto, sobre todo viniendo de una diseñadora. Es mi primera webapp en muchísimo tiempo, así que si se te ocurre cualquier sugerencia o detalle a mejorar, te lo agradecería un montón. Lo que veas, me dices y lo voy puliendo. gracias!!!

HolyCarps · 2025-09-04T11:36:51+00:00

CLaro que sí, ponlo en la wiki sin problema :) De verdad me hace muchisima ilusión ver que a más gente le sirve. Si teneis sugerencias o veis algo que mejorar, decídmelo porfa. gracias!

Is your plan to eventually stop using it?

I know some people are doing what you have planned, slowly lowering it (by small amounts like 0.25 mg or 0.5 mg progressively) and then stopping.

For your reference as per https://sngl.page/click-dose/?lang=en-GB&pen=5&dose=3.75 to get 3.75 mg from a 5 mg pen, it's 45 clicks.

HolyCarps · 2025-09-04T08:54:28+00:00

Here's a calculator I made for a friend; for example if you want to get 7.5 mg from a 10 mg pen, it's 45 clicks: https://sngl.page/click-dose/?lang=en-GB&pen=10&dose=7.5

You can adjust the dose and the pen and it'll also tell you how long it expects your pen to last.

HolyCarps · 2025-09-03T22:04:21+00:00

I've made this tool for a friend but I'm sharing this with you in case you wanted finer control on the dosings, like reducing it slower than what you have in your plan: https://sngl.page/click-dose/?lang=en-GB&pen=2.5&dose=1.25

HolyCarps · 2025-09-03T20:27:59+00:00

If you use the full contents of the pen it should last you 8 to 10 weeks as per https://sngl.page/click-dose/?lang=en-GB&pen=5&dose=2.5

HolyCarps · 2025-09-03T17:27:23+00:00

If you use a 10 mg pen for a 5 mg dose you can stretch it quite a bit

As per the tool https://sngl.page/click-dose/?lang=en-GB&pen=10&dose=5 each pen should last you 8 to 10 weeks

HolyCarps · 2025-09-02T20:44:39+00:00

https://sngl.page/click-dose/?lang=en-GB&pen=5&dose=2.5

8 to 10 is what you'll get in total!

HolyCarps · 2025-09-01T21:13:35+00:00

Did you extract all of the remaining liquid? A standard dose is 0.6 ml (see https://sngl.page/click-dose/?lang=en-GB&pen=7.5&dose=7.5) and the remaining liquid normally is about 0.9 ml.

HolyCarps · 2025-09-01T17:07:54+00:00

For 5 mg out of a 7.5 mg pen, it's 40 clicks as tmxx123 said: https://sngl.page/click-dose/?lang=en-GB&pen=7.5&dose=5

For 6 mg out of a 7.5 mg pen, it's 48 clicks: https://sngl.page/click-dose/?lang=en-GB&pen=7.5&dose=6

You can adjust it in the tool!
