What happens if you miss a Wegovy dose?

Wegovy doesn’t leave your system when you miss a dose (once per week), so there’s no need to stress about what happens if you skip a dose of Wegovy . If you miss a dose of Wegovy® (semaglutide), take Wegovy as soon as you remember, but only if your next dose is more than 2 days away from when you remember your Wegovy missed dose. If it is less than 2 days until your next dose, don’t take the missed Wegovy dose and wait until your next scheduled dose. Skipping weekly doses is not recommended. If you forget to take Wegovy for 2 or more weeks, contact your healthcare provider for further instruction.
