Missing a dose of medication can happen to anyone. Here’s what you should do if you miss a dose of either Wegovy or Mounjaro.

If you're taking Wegovy:

  1. If it's within 5 days of the missed dose:

    • Take your current dose as soon as possible.

    • For your next dose, return to your usual schedule on the original day you typically take your medication.

  2. If it's been over 5 days since the missed dose:

    • Skip the current dose and wait until your next scheduled dose on your usual day.

If you're taking Mounjaro:

  1. If it's within 4 days of the missed dose:

    • Take your current dose as soon as possible.

    • For your next dose, return to your usual schedule on the original day you typically take your medication.

  2. If it's been over 4 days since the missed dose:

    • Skip the current dose and wait until your next scheduled dose on your usual day.

Important Reminders

  • Do Not Double Up: Never take two doses at the same time to make up for a missed dose. Doing so can increase the risk of side effects or complications.
