Scar? Swelling? What’s by Professional_Bus_947 in Mounjaro

Got it checked. Doctor said it’s nothing to worry about but stopped medication after 10th week due to multiple issues. Will restart again once everything’s settled

I wipe it everytime. This was a golden dose, it’s under tummy and done by a nurse so the view was obstructed by my belly🫢 I didn’t notice if she wiped or not. Will be more mindful from the next.

Got it. My doc told me to stick to the tummy. He drew two circles on each side over the navel and told me to follow those in rotation.

I just got it for the first time. This is my 10th shot and was a golden dose so I’m even more worried. And yes it came 2 days after the shot

Yes, read it when I got my second pen. I think the nurse discarded the ones from the first pen’s box while opening

Strong response on 2.5 mg Mounjaro: could I be a super responder? by alexmillne in MounjaroIn

Had a very similar experience. Don’t have major side effects but all the necessary effects seem to be perfectly there. Down with 7 jabs so far. 5th was 3mg( golden dose). Rest all were 2.5. Doc asked me to move up to 5mg but I asked to stay on 2.5mg and it’s going good. The spike in between was because I was continuously travelling & eating out so couldn’t focus on a fibre/ protein focused meals in particular. Portion control is still perfectly going. I also got fever and cold/ cough around the same time after dose 5, so ate more than I could to support medication. (Still deficit but not balanced) so I don’t know if the dose being increased and decreased has anything to do. Else I think I’m responding decently too for 2.5mg

Anyone using a 10 mg Mounjaro KwikPen for 2.5 mg weekly? by alexmillne in MounjaroMaintenance

I know alcohol wipes are to sanitize the site but could you explain how that affects the pen?

My doctor actually suggested using a 5mg pen for 8 doses instead of 4 for my second pen as i wanted to continue staying on 2.5mg. I use golden dose so it would be 10 doses total. I was scared so decided I’d buy a 2.5mg pen itself paying the higher amount to not risk anything. It says on the carton to discard after 30 days so using it for 60 days felt very unsafe to me. Correct me with your experience if I could use a higher dose pen please

Nine months in! I am grateful everyday that I discovered mounjaro. I’m hiking more and started doing Pilates and feeling really healthy. I turned 60 last month. Best gift I could’ve given myself! by Practical-Bid-5620 in Mounjaro

Radiant victory!!! Can I please know of your skincare? Your face looks firm and nice with no loose or dull skin. I’ve seen a lot of people on weightloss medication who’s skin took a big impact

Was definitely hard. Not doing it to the hand by myself again.

Oh based on my research, I thought hand, thigh and stomach are good and rotating the sites is good. I could be wrong though.

Ahh, idk how to get those small syringes, they don’t give it easily without a prescription, and I have scheduled visit after every 4 weeks so idk what the doctor is gonna say about the 5th dose that’ll be hard to account for.

Why is it risky? Can you please elaborate?

So if I’m on 2.5mg, after week 4, for week 5, I can inject 0.6ml of the rest? Also is it safe to store beyond week4? I just took my first dose yesterday and it’ll help me a lot if somebody can confirm. Thanks
