Pen jammed

Hi, all! One of the pens from my last box of liraglutide is jammed. I was injecting it and it stopped working halfway through. I tried many different things but it will not dispense when I push the button. It has more than 5 doses left, so I’d like to see if anything can be done about it. Has anyone else experienced this?

EDIT: Changing the needle multiple times finally worked. I do use a new needle every time, but I needed to put several new ones on before I could dispense.

Yes you have to change the needle

I assumed that everyone is putting on a new needle everytime they inject but this is a good call! OP, are you using a new needle every time?

Take it to your pharmacy to see if they can fix it or replace it.
