Does the Mounjaro KwikPen come with pen needles? If not, why are there no pen needles in the pack?

Furthermore, the Mounjaro KwikPen is compatible with different pen needles, including needles of different sizes, and needles of different manufacturers with different characteristics. Supplying medicine and needles separately allows the health care professional and patient to choose a needle that is appropriate for the patient.
