What is the Mounjaro Needle?

The Mounjaro Needle ابر مونجارو    is a thin, disposable needle attached to the Mounjaro injection pen. It is designed for subcutaneous (under the skin) injections and is pre-attached to make the process easy and convenient.

Key Features:

• Single-use only – should never be reused.
• Ultra-thin design for minimal discomfort.
• Hidden needle to help reduce injection anxiety.
• Pre-attached to the pen for convenience.

How to Use the Mounjaro Needle Correctly

1. Prepare for Your Injection

• Wash your hands thoroughly.
• Take the pen out of the refrigerator 30 minutes before use to prevent discomfort from a cold injection.
• Check the medication inside the pen – it should be clear and colorless.

2. Choose the Right Injection Site

The best areas for injecting Mounjaro are:

• Abdomen (at least two inches away from the belly button).
• Thigh (front or outer part).
• Upper arm (if injected by someone else).

Avoid injecting into scarred, bruised, or irritated skin.

3. Administer the Injection

• Clean the injection site with an alcohol swab and let it dry.
• Remove the pen cap and press the pen firmly against your skin at a 90-degree angle.
• Press the injection button until you hear a click.
• Hold the pen in place for 10 seconds to ensure the full dose is delivered.

4. Dispose of the Needle Safely

• Never reuse a needle – always dispose of it after one use.
• Place the used pen in a sharps container to prevent injury.

Tips for a Smooth Injection Experience

• Rotate injection sites to avoid irritation or lumps.
• Let the alcohol dry before injecting to prevent stinging.
• Use an ice pack before injection if you have sensitive skin.
• Stay relaxed – tensing up can make the injection feel more uncomfortable.

When to Contact Your Doctor

Seek medical advice if you experience:

• Persistent redness, swelling, or pain at the injection site.
• Signs of an allergic reaction (rash, itching, or difficulty breathing).
• Severe side effects like nausea, dizziness, or stomach pain.
