Missed a Mounjaro or Wegovy dose? What the leaflets say.
There's a grace window for a late dose, and a point where the leaflet says skip instead.
There's a grace window for a late dose, and a point where the leaflet says skip instead.
Missing a weekly dose happens: travel, a delayed delivery, a forgotten Sunday. Both leaflets give you a window.
Mounjaro
If it's within 4 days (96 hours) of the missed dose, take it as soon as you can, then continue on your normal day. If more than 4 days have passed, skip it and take the next dose on schedule. Never double up.
Wegovy
The window is 5 days: within that, take the dose and carry on; beyond it, skip to the next scheduled day. Again, never take two doses to catch up.
Daily tablets
For the Wegovy pill or Foundayo, the rule is the familiar one: if you miss a day, skip it and take the next tablet at the usual time, no doubling.
Repeated missed doses, or a gap of more than a couple of weeks, is a prescriber conversation, you may be advised to restart lower. Sources: the official patient leaflets at the electronic medicines compendium.
