1. Counselling Conundrum: a real question from a patient

2. Concise Conclusion: a straight-forward patient-friendly answer 

3. Quick Wrap-up 

Clearly, there are nuances that may not be captured in this format. The goal here is to provide you with helpful counselling tips which often draw from multiple sources or those which are not commonly accessed by busy healthcare providers serving the community.

Counselling Conundrum: "I am taking Mounjaro, and I want to go up in dose very slowly. Can I reuse a vial?"

Concise Conclusion: Unfortunately, there is no preservative in the vial, so it can only be used once. You would be able to use a smaller amount, but the vial must be discarded after that dose.

Quick Wrap-up: Watch for single use pens as well; no preservatives, and therefore is not a candidate for microdosing.
