<p class="wp-block-paragraph">How to Use the Zepbound KwikPen (Setup + Injection)</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">How to use the Zepbound KwikPen: attach a new needle, prime, dial the weekly dose, inject, hold, and dispose. Real setup and injection demo.<br><br>This demo was filmed to help those on the Medicare GLP-1 Bridge Program or those just getting started on GLP-1 meds using a KwikPen</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This is not medical advice. Follow the Instructions for Use in your carton and what your prescriber or pharmacist told you. Zepbound (tirzepatide) is a prescription medicine. Do not share your pen. When the four weekly doses are done, discard the pen, including any leftover.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In this video:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>What’s in the KwikPen box vs. the single-use pen</li>



<li>The dose window and the red seal</li>



<li>Attach a 32-gauge pen needle (outer cap and inner cap)</li>



<li>Prime until you see medicine</li>



<li>Dial to 1 — watch the window, don’t count clicks for the dose</li>



<li>Clean the site, inject, hold, confirm the window is back at 0</li>



<li>Recap and put the needle in a sharps container</li>
</ul>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I only show the 5 mg KwikPen I was prescribed. Your dose, storage, and schedule come from your clinician and the official IFU.</p>
