Excellent. Even though the instructions are very clearly outlined and illustraed it was very helpful to see this vid and get confirmation that I'm doing everything right !
we went to the hospital and even the nurse were very confusing how to inject it, this is the worst move , please return the old single use pens , people will find alternative for sure if you keep such a bad idea for saving few pounds
The trick to finger pricks I found is to go for the side of your finger, rather than the front, also not the fingerprint area too, but the section behind.
I was amazed how less stressful it is to inject yourself, than to let someone else do it. You literally don't even feel the needle going in doing it yourself, and I'm one of the biggest cowards ever when it comes to needles!
And yet it is interesting to see some chats in this video asking for 4-dose pens in the USA. I suppose it is currently felt that Americans need a much simpler approach, despite this leading to the current shortages there.

I know right. I still get nightmares from the multiuse pen from ozempic I used. It was terrible. I was so happy when I switched to mounjaro and no pain was there with single use pen. They need to bring back the single use pen

I bought it in dubai with no needles too!!I asked the pharmacy and they gave me 0.25*6 mm needles. Its wiered why they don't put the needles in the pack!!!
You still have to go on a diet with this.. Its helpful for people with diabetes, pre diabetes, metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance who struggle to lose weight.. Without dieting it does not work..
And what exactly is metformin for? Starting from a BMI of 44, I’ve managed to lose 25 kilos/55 pounds of weight in six (6) months, of which mostly fat, solely on metformin, together with a 1000kcal/day calorie deficit diet after month three (3). I was diagnosed with metabolic syndrome, and specifically pre-diabetes together with a really acute case of insulin resistance. However, after month three (3) my fasting insulin dropped by 60%, albeit it should be noted that I am on an inositol supplement as well, which I am going off of gradually. Also, I am looking to buy an elliptical trainer for indoor exercise, because I can’t be bothered to exercise otherwise. Perhaps these new drugs are applicable to cases that can’t be treated with regular/older drugs and as an alternative or previous step to surgery, nevertheless they are hyped because of their weight loss benefit which appeals not only to sick individuals, but people looking to shed weight fast for non-medical reasons.
@@solidsession2010 .I'm glad the medical approach that you took has worked for you.. But we need to understand that every body is different... What worked for you might have still have complications for others..do share your diet details.. It might actually benefit others struggling with similar health issues . Peace for everyone!
@@KindergartenWithMsFozia I’ll answer your question but first I would like to clarify a few things: My obesity is most likely caused by my severe resistance to insulin, hence by taking metformin and going on a diet I managed to improve my condition, exceeding weight loss results of GLP-1 agonist drugs. Metmorfin on its own most likely won’t produce said results, unless you have the same condition as me. In my country, as in most, GLP-1 agonist drugs are prescribed solely for diabetes treatment. One of the endocrinologists that I visited said that I would be a perfect candidate for them, but she declined to register me as a diabetic (I am pre-diabetic), which I agreed with and stated my preference for a less aggressive approach. Hence, if you have diabetes and are overweight/obese these new drugs should be considered, but personally I would exhaust all other options before taking them for a number of reasons. Obviously, these decisions should be made under proper medical guidance, but what is most important is that besides medication proper lifestyle changes are made (eating healthy, exercising etc.) to address the underlying causes. As far as my diet goes, without going into too much detail I am on 5-meal per day plan, only whole grain foodstuffs, no juices whatsoever, 2 fruits per day combined with a protein source (e.g. unsalted nuts or low-fat yogurt) for my in-between meals. My main meals consist of an animal protein source, green salad and one whole grain carbohydrate source. More importantly, I did a specialized breath test to measure my Resting Metabolic Rate and planned my daily calorie to lose 1 kilo per week, i.e. a 1000 calorie deficit per day.

@@geovanaczeni I found out since that the monthly dose is 2.3ml, but ALL the pens naturally contain 3ml so everyone gets a bit more. It is a waste but I suppose it is cheaper for them to use existing 3ml pens than to specially create and produce 2.3ml ones. They set the mechanism so you can only use 2.3ml though so you just have to throw it away!
@@zekechapeach of the 4 doses administers 0.6ml (as explained in this video) so that makes a total of 2.4ml, not 2.3ml. But yes, that would explain the remainder medicine due to repurposing 3.0ml kwikpens.
Each time you do this process it contains 2.5mg of the medication. There are 4 doses of 2.5mg of medication in each pen in addition to the four ‘priming’ ones
what a bad move you will lose thousands of clients and millions of pounds , do not think you are saving this way , moving from the easy 4 pens user friendly to such a complicated procedures will drop your sales pipeline significantly , for many days me and all friends I know that they used to it are confused and trying to find hospital appointment to isert auch a bad new idea , eben it was very beneficial but after such change , we will definitely stop using it

Let us know if you have any questions!
Can you store the pen in the refrigerator after use?
Like this way can we use 4 times in a single pen?
One dose from 15 mg how many tikes??
Do we have to pinch the skin before administering the injection?
All those questions are very important. Please, we need the answers to it ASAP 🙏

Thank you so much, this vid really helped me out. I miss the old injections that were disposable but they're so tough to get.
Thanks for the video. By far the best explanation I‘ve seen yet.
Great clear instruction, thank you. I’ve just taken my first injection. Did not feel a thing, unlike finger pricks.
Same! Good luck 🤞🏻
Finger pricks are awful!
The trick to finger pricks I found is to go for the side of your finger, rather than the front, also not the fingerprint area too, but the section behind.
@@Larry I hate them. I’ve got piercings and I’m covered in tattoos but pricking my finger is 🤮. 😄
@@Oamanda6 I'm not a fan of needles myself, managed to avoid having a blood test for about 20 years :D But it's not fun, is it?
Today I did as per the instructions. Successfully injected.
Thanks for such a detailed information.

. wondering why Ely lilly will not give us the four dose pens, in the US.
Thank you very much. Just start today ❤
Thank you, very easy to follow. It would have been easier to give 4 injections like trucility but i suppose, its tonsave Money.

Thank you for this video- first injection today!
It was very useful for me thank u so much for the detail🙏🙏🙏
Do you need to pinch the skin when injecting the site? I've seen some advice to do so.
What about the second dose?
The first dose is 2.5mm
And the second dose 5mm so how can I get it
You buy it seperate once you have completed 4x 2.5ml

Preach💔 idk how im gonna take this i swear
@@Nonamee-n1sthis is one pen available in uk
How many clicks for each dose in the 15 mg new pen ??
الابر القديمة افضل بكثير وأسهل
how many clicks are in one pen?
You forgot to give instructions to clean the injection site with an alcohol swab prior to inserting the needle 😮
Because it is NOT needed and actually NOT recommended. Wiping injection sites on the skin has led to a lot of injection site reactions.
Hello, where can I get needles, I received my pen without needles 😢
Same here, got mine in the UAE. No pen needles. I wonder if it is fake?! I've been told that I can just get pen needles from the pharmacy 4mm or 8mm.
If in UK ur GP should give u them if not I can buy them of Amazon
I bought it in dubai with no needles too!!I asked the pharmacy and they gave me 0.25*6 mm needles. Its wiered why they don't put the needles in the pack!!!
U need to buy it separate
Needles are bought separately, they come in packs of like 100 because Mounjaro isn't the only medication delivered by Kwikpen.
I'd rather go on a diet than having to follow these steps every week!

Are you joking everyone it's not clearly for the dosage amount
Why is there a fair amount left at the end of the month?!
I would also like to know. Is that normal?

It's also to account for the small amounts you use when priming the pen
If you turn it hard, it gives a 5th dose. The left over is for priming the needle@@zekechap
I still dont get it. I dont know how much I am putting in. How do I count? How many times I repeat to process to reach the 2.5mg? Its weird.
Each time you do this process it contains 2.5mg of the medication. There are 4 doses of 2.5mg of medication in each pen in addition to the four ‘priming’ ones

Me too but I didn't feel it for some reason

I don't understand the problem, it's easier?
Hi if there is only 4 doses why hasn’t one dose gone down? Xx
You get more than 4 doses technically, this is to account for the liquid you lose when you prime the pen.
Does it hurt
Not at all.
It's barely a pinch.
I’m on week 5 now and loving ! Cannot feel it at all !
No, just did mine. I was worried as well but barely felt it, the needle tip is very small and it slides into th skin easily.
Does not hurt at all, I did not feel a thing, needle is very fine
Hi is how much I like to have am from Gambia 🇬🇲 1:36
Do you need a new pen with every injection
How are you fat bods getting on with this? 🙂
dignitas
this is not patient friendly too many steps . You are not supposed put the cap on the needle as you can accidentally get pricked
I’m sure you’ll overcome this incredible test of human intellect.
New system 👎
Soo complicated design 😢the previous 4 pens were easier than this ,I will stop buying this bs 😤
The old version was so much easier 🥲 why the gotta ruin what was already perfect
Less waste on unique packaging (Kwikpen is already a common delivery method for insulin), meaning orders of Mounjaro itself can deliver faster.
Today I did as per the instructions. Successfully injected.
Thanks for such a detailed information.
