What should I do if I miss a dose of my weight loss medication?

Missing doses happen. What you should do next depends on which medication you take and how long the delay has been.

If you missed a dose of Zepbound

  • If it has been 4 days or less since your missed dose, take Zepbound as soon as possible.

  • If more than 4 days have passed, skip the missed dose and take your next dose on your regularly scheduled day.

  • If you are not sure when to restart Zepbound, ask your clinician or pharmacist.

If you missed an injection dose of Wegovy

  • If your next scheduled dose is more than 2 days away, take Wegovy as soon as possible.

  • If your next scheduled dose is less than 2 days away, skip the missed dose and take your next dose on your regularly scheduled day.

  • If you are not sure when to restart Wegovy, ask your clinician or pharmacist.

If you missed a tablet dose of Wegovy

  • If you miss a dose of Wegovy tablets, skip the missed dose. Take your next dose the following day.
