Missed a dose? The rules for every treatment

Mounjaro

Take the missed dose within 4 days (96 hours), then resume your usual day. Beyond 96 hours, skip it entirely. Never take two doses within 3 days of each other.

Wegovy pen

Take the missed dose within 5 days, then resume your usual day. Beyond 5 days, skip it. Never double up.

Wegovy tablets and Foundayo

Skip the missed tablet and take the next one at the usual time the following morning. One missed daily dose is insignificant. Never take two to catch up.

After a longer gap

If more than about 2 weeks pass without a dose, tolerance fades. Restarting at your previous dose can bring back week-one nausea in full. Message your prescriber first. You will usually restart one or two steps lower and re-titrate. This is routine, and the check-in exists for exactly this.

Making misses rare

• Anchor the weekly dose to a fixed ritual, Sunday breakfast, bin day, a favourite programme.
• Set a phone reminder plus a backup 24 hours later.
• Keep the pen visible in the fridge door, not buried at the back.
• Order your next pen when the current one has one dose left, the reminder message a week before you run out is the safety net, not the plan.
