What happens if I miss a dose of the Wegovy pill?

If you miss a dose of the Wegovy pill, skip the missed dose and take your next dose the following day as usual. Do not take an extra tablet or take two doses on the same day to make up for the missed dose.

Missing one dose is unlikely to ruin your treatment, but repeated missed doses may reduce effectiveness. If you miss several doses or are unsure how to restart, speak to your healthcare professional.

Key points:

  • Skip the missed dose and take the next dose the following day.
  • Do not take two tablets on the same day.
  • Repeated missed doses may reduce treatment effectiveness.
  • Speak to a healthcare professional if you miss several doses or are unsure what to do.
