Have a vial of 5 mg Mounjaro Can I use it twice?

To @Яна:

Please tell me what kind of mump-syringe you have.

Different dosages are available on the market: 2.5mg/0.5ml, 5mg/0.5ml, 7.5mg/0.5ml and 12.5mg/0.5ml. Without this information, I am not able to give the right dosage.

Hello! Who knows how many clicks in the Munjaro syringe, which is not a one-time, but for 4 doses. I was given a dosage of 10, but I need to start with 2.5

What if you could fill e.g. 2 syringes at once? One immediately in the drum, and the other in the fridge and after a week a shot?

Can be divided without any problem. Insulin syringes have a very accurate graduation. Most of them administer the drug without loss. With the needles applied, they have a rubber band that pushes the drug "all the way", those with integrated needles are built in such a way that they administer the drug to the very end. Personally tested.

It is not realistic to divide by two. Disposable syringes and when the button is pressed, the dose is injected immediately in full. And for those who were prescribed 5.7, 10 and higher doses, such syringes are sold in these mg. I was prescribed 2.5 and 5 mg, I bought a package of each drug at a price of $480 and $500. There are 4 pcs in one package, that is, for a month. One-time is not for sale, this is the price for the course

I have been practicing for over 35 years and after familiarizing myself with the composition of Mounjaro, the structure of the vial and the method of administration of the drug, I can say with full responsibility that the contents of the vial can be divided in half and given as two doses with an interval of 7 days, of course, following the appropriate rules of conduct, which are mentioned in the American Pharmacopoeia in the part concerning multidose vials. Unfortunately, greedy pharmaceutical companies always care mainly about their own pockets. On the other hand, the recommendations of reputable expert organizations tend to favor the widespread use of multi-dose vials, which, of course, reduces the profits of pharmaceutical companies, but brings significant benefits to the health care system and patients.

@kulas have you practiced it?

And how did you divide the drug? And she took the second dose after a week?

Girl, don't listen to these nonsense written by the clever, you can easily use 1 vial for twice. The distributor deliberately does not introduce higher doses to the market because he wants to brazenly drain our pockets. I wonder what a person will do if the doctor increases the dose to 15mg? She will have to buy 3 packs of 5mg every week and spend over a thousand!! What do the Ombudsman for Patients' Rights and the Chief Pharmaceutical Inspector say about it?

Unfortunately, the medicine vial is disposable. Do not withdraw 2 doses from the same vial one week apart, as the drug loses its sterility and this does not guarantee the safety of the therapy.

Needles and syringes are necessary to take the medicine. The manufacturer recommends 1 ml syringes with a needle for subcutaneous injections from 4 mm to 12.7 mm in length (preferably as short as possible). You should also buy disposable needles to scoop up the medicine

Shake the ampoule, then attach a scooping needle to the syringe, withdraw the appropriate amount of medicine (usually the whole 0.5 ml ampoule), then change to the needle used to administer the medicine, preferably as short as possible, release it and inject the medicine into the abdomen, thigh or upper arm.

I have a question for MaKo: how should I withdraw Mounjaro from the vial correctly? It seems to me that the package leaflet contains an incorrect description of this activity.

And I think that the previous speaker does not even know what a vial of Mounjaro looks like, but you can always make a purely theoretical statement and make a fuss.

The product we are talking about is produced as a sterile product. If the vial is a single dose, it cannot be divided into doses. Why? Because single-dose vials are not used to store the product after opening, but for single use. We inject it once a week, so imagine contaminating the product, waiting 7 days for the microbes to multiply, and then administering the mixture under your skin. Disaster is ready.
If the vials are multidosed, the case is different because the vial is different. To put it simply: the product flows only in one direction (you can't "pump" anything inside), and the closure ensures sterility.
