What should you do if you miss a dose of Wegovy?
If a dose of Wegovy is missed and the next scheduled injection is more than 48 hours away, take the missed dose as soon as remembered, then continue with the usual weekly schedule. If the next scheduled injection is in less than 48 hours, skip the missed dose and take the next dose on the regular day. Never take two doses on the same day to make up for a missed dose. If two or more weeks of doses have been missed, seek advice from a GP, prescribing clinician, or pharmacist in the UK on how to safely restart.
- If more than 48 hours until the next dose: take the missed dose now, then continue weekly on the usual day.
- If less than 48 hours until the next dose: skip the missed dose; take the next one on the regular day.
- Never double up doses on the same day to “catch up.”
- If two or more weeks of doses were missed, contact a UK healthcare professional for restart advice.
- To prevent missed doses, set reminders and keep injections tied to a consistent weekly routine.
