Is it okay to inject Mounjaro earlier or later than your usual time in the week?
Yes, it is generally okay to inject Mounjaro slightly earlier or later than your usual weekly time for weight loss, as long as you stay within a 24-hour flexibility window and then return to your regular schedule to keep medication levels steady. Consistency on the same day each week is most important for effective weight loss results, but small adjustments help avoid missed doses during busy times or travel. Always consult your clinician before making bigger changes to ensure safe use without overlapping doses.
- Stick to weekly routine: Inject once a week on the same day for best weight loss support and steady drug levels.
- Small shifts allowed: Up to 1 day (24 hours) early or late is fine; resume normal timing after.
- Avoid big gaps: If you miss a dose, take it within 4 days. If more than 4 days have passed, skip it. You may change your injection day if needed, but always leave at least 3 days between doses.
- Seek advice: Talk to your healthcare provider for personalised guidance.
