Frequently asked
What if I miss a Wegovy dose?+
Wegovy is dosed once weekly. If you miss a dose: take it as soon as possible within 5 days of the scheduled day. If more than 5 days have passed, skip the missed dose and take the next dose on your regular weekly schedule. Do not take two doses to make up for a missed one — doubling up dramatically increases nausea and other GI side effects. If you miss multiple consecutive doses (out for 2+ weeks), contact your prescriber before resuming; you may need to restart at a lower dose to re-tolerate. Set a recurring weekly reminder to minimize misses, especially during early titration when consistent dosing helps the body adapt.
Should I double the next dose to make up?+
Never. Doubling significantly increases GI side effects. Skip and resume regular schedule instead.
