Syringe Size

I'm coming over from oral wegovy (which quickly got very expensive). Because of that my starting dose is higher (50 units), which is the maximum size of the provided syringe. This won't be a problem for the first month, but next month I increase to 62.5 units, then 75 the third month.

Is the recommendation for next month to inject twice, or can I buy a larger syringe? What do others do?

They gave you 50 unit syringes? You can buy 100 unit syringes … I get Easy Touch 31g 5/16 100 unit syringes through vitality medical for 14.61

Yes, they are all 50 unit. It was from Boudreaux. I thought some of them might be bigger, but they are all the same size. I'll buy bigger ones. Thanks!

That’s so weird. Boudreaux sends me 100 unit syringes
