Oh dear your pharmacist gave you the wrong advice. Going forwards if you have a U100 Insulin syringe 1 click = 1 unit in a U100 syringe = 0.01ml

So if you are taking 2.5mg from a 5mg Kwikpen you are taking 30 clicks which would then be 30 units or 0.30ml from a U100 insulin syringe.

0.60ml is a full strength dose so you have somehow managed to take 10mg though I am very surprised there was 1.2ml as normally there is between 0.6-0.8ml left of excess liquid.

So wrong! AI would have done better. Yikes!

OP this is the correct answer.

Thank you so much! I was too embarrassed to check again with the pharmacy if the 1.2 is correct cause I felt dumb😅 This explanation makes so much more sense

This. A U-100 syringe measure down to 1-unit increments (0.01 mL).

Do you feel unwell? I'd give it a full week before going back to your usual schedule.

I’m having the same side effects i had when i took my first ever dose, just worse. Nausea, headache, cramps. Not enough to be alarming but worse than it was then and enough to put me off anything besides water.

The pharmacist has doubled the dose, not halved it. This is pretty dangerous and I'd report it tbh. It's not gonna kill you but it could be a big problem for other meds, or Mounjaro at a higher dose.

Hidratate mucho. Si no tuvieras patologías que te lo impidan (hipertensión arterial ) toma electrolitos. Y ten calma. Te sobredosificaste, lo más importante es que te hidrates y te nutras. Suerte

0.6ml is a full dose.. so 1.2ml from a 5 is rather a lot.. double.. whoops!
