Why is the Mounjaro® (tirzepatide) KwikPen® dose knob hard to push?
The dose knob may be hard to push as the needle may be blocked, or the pen may have dust, food or liquid inside the pen, or the user may be pushing the knob too quickly.
How to troubleshoot a hard-to-push dose knob
If the dose knob is hard to push:1
- pushing the dose knob more slowly will make it easier to inject.
- the needle may be blocked. Put on a new pen needle and prime the pen.
- there may be dust, food, or liquid inside the pen. Throw the pen away and get a new pen.
If there are any questions or problems with the Mounjaro KwikPen, contact your local Lilly affiliate. Users may also want to discuss with their prescriber or another healthcare professional.1
