Starting Mounjaro for the first time can feel daunting if you’ve never used an injection pen before. The good news is that it’s incredibly easy, quick, and painless once you understand the process. This guide walks you through every step of using your Mounjaro pen safely, explains where to inject, and provides tips to make your experience comfortable and effective.
Mounjaro is available to UK patients through regulated pharmacies such as PPRX, where every order includes pharmacist guidance, needles, and next-day delivery.
What Is the Mounjaro Pen?
The Mounjaro injection pen is a pre-filled, single-use pen that delivers one weekly dose of tirzepatide. Each pen comes ready to use — there’s no measuring or assembly required. The pen automatically injects the exact amount of medicine beneath your skin with a single click.
Mounjaro helps your body regulate appetite and blood sugar by mimicking two natural hormones, GLP-1 and GIP. The result is steady weight loss, improved metabolism, and reduced hunger without constant dieting.
Before You Begin
- Choose your injection day. Pick one day each week that you’ll remember easily, such as Sunday or Monday. Try to inject at roughly the same time each week.
- Store correctly. Keep Mounjaro pens refrigerated (2°C–8°C). Before use, allow the pen to warm to room temperature for about 15 minutes.
- Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water.
- Inspect the pen. Check the liquid through the small window. It should be clear and colourless — not cloudy or with particles.
Where to Inject Mounjaro
The best areas for injection are:
- The front of your thighs
- The stomach area (at least 5 cm away from the belly button)
- The upper arm (if someone else is administering the injection)
Rotate the injection site each week to prevent irritation. For example, use your right thigh one week, your stomach the next.
Step-by-Step Guide to Using the Mounjaro Pen
Step 1: Remove the pen from its packaging.
Make sure it’s the correct strength and dose prescribed for you.
Step 2: Clean the injection site.
Use an alcohol wipe and allow the skin to dry completely.
Step 3: Unlock the pen.
Turn the lock ring from “lock” to “unlock.” The pen is now ready.
Step 4: Place the pen firmly against your skin.
Hold it at a 90-degree angle.
Step 5: Press the injection button.
You’ll hear a click — that’s the start of your injection. Keep the pen pressed against your skin until you hear a second click (about 5–10 seconds). This means the dose is complete.
Step 6: Remove and dispose of the pen.
Each Mounjaro pen is single use. Dispose of it immediately in a sharps container or follow your pharmacist’s advice for safe disposal.
Step 7: Relax — you’re done.
There’s no need to massage the site or apply a plaster unless you notice slight redness, which fades quickly.
Tips for a Comfortable Injection
- Inject at room temperature; cold pens can cause mild discomfort.
- Don’t inject into areas with scars, bruises, or hard skin.
- Take deep breaths and stay relaxed; it only takes seconds.
- If you notice a small drop of liquid after injection, that’s normal — the full dose has still been delivered.
If you’re unsure or nervous, you can contact the pharmacist team at PPRX for guidance before your first dose.
What to Expect After Your First Injection
During the first 24 hours, you might notice mild side effects such as nausea, burping, or reduced appetite. These are temporary and show that the medicine is working. Most patients quickly adapt and feel normal within a few days.
Continue eating small, balanced meals, avoid heavy or fried foods on injection day, and drink plenty of water.
By the end of the first month, your body will have adjusted, and appetite control will become more natural.
Mounjaro Dosage Schedule
Your dose will increase gradually to help your body adjust:
- 2.5 mg for the first 4 weeks
- 5 mg for the next 4 weeks
- 7.5 mg thereafter if needed
- Continue increasing until your maintenance dose (up to 15 mg)
The pharmacists at PPRX can guide you on when to move up a dose safely.

Safety and Disposal
Never reuse or share a Mounjaro pen. Dispose of used pens in a sharps bin or return them to your local pharmacy. Store unused pens in the fridge and never freeze them. Keep out of reach of children and away from direct sunlight.
If you miss a dose and it’s been less than 4 days, inject it as soon as you remember. If more than 4 days have passed, skip that dose and continue on your regular day.
