How many doses does an 80mcg Tymlos pen have on average?

I was having a lot of bubbles appear in the Tymlos pens mid-cycle. When I called Radius, they said each pen has 6 extra doses at 80mg. For bubbles, they said to release injection straight up as in starting a new pen. And I could do this up to 6 times each pen. Bubbles were only in that one pen and I did the releases and had plenty to finish at full 80
for 30 injections.
Hope this is helpful!

When you first prime it, flick the pen with your index finger to get air bubbles up to the top. Then do a full dose into the air to release the air bubbles. Air bubbles of course affect dosing.
My kid has type 1 diabetes and air bubbles have a serious impact on insulin delivery and can result in very high blood sugars, whether in a syringe, pen or pump line. I have gotten pretty good at flicking them up to the top!
@esb13 I am curious how air bubbles made their way into your Tymlos pen mid-month. I am not clear on how this is possible but if it is, it could be a concern for a lot of users.
