What if I miss a dose of Wegovy?
Reviewed by the glpzoom Editorial Team against primary clinical sources — FDA labeling, peer-reviewed trials, and specialty-society guidelines.
Content current as of June 2026; updated when guidance or availability changes.
Wegovy dosing protocol per FDA label: if you remember within 5 days of the scheduled dose, take it as soon as possible and resume the regular weekly schedule. If more than 5 days have passed, skip the missed dose and take your next scheduled dose on the regular day. Never take two doses to 'catch up'. If you've missed 2+ consecutive weeks, contact your prescriber before resuming — you may need to re-titrate from a lower dose because tolerance to GI side effects may have decreased. After re-titration, side effects typically return to your previous tolerated level within 2-3 weeks. Keeping a phone reminder or dose log helps prevent the issue.
