At Juniper, we understand that starting a self-injectable medication can feel a little intimidating, especially if it’s new to you. Our goal is to provide clear guidance so you can begin your treatment with confidence.
Every monthly order will provide 4 Mounjaro pens, each providing a single weekly dose of treatment.
Let’s walk through the key steps together.
When to inject with my Mounjaro SD (Single Dose) pen?
- Inject Mounjaro once a week, on the same day, with or without food.
- Choose a quiet time when you won’t be rushed so you can follow each step of the injection process carefully.
Where to inject with my Mounjaro SD pen?
- Injections should go into the subcutaneous (fatty) layer under the skin of your upper thigh, upper arm, or abdomen. Choose an injection site where there is more fatty tissue (for example : the front of your upper thigh rather than the back).
- Do not inject into an area where the skin is tender, bruised, red, or hard. You should also avoid injecting into areas with scars or stretch marks
- Rotate injection sites weekly to avoid lumps, hardened tissue, or irritation.
