Quick answer: If you miss a dose of the Wegovy pill, skip it and take your next dose as normal the following day. Do not take a double dose to make up for the one you missed. If you miss several doses in a row, contact your prescribing pharmacy before continuing.
What to know
Because the tablet is taken once daily on an empty stomach, a single missed dose is generally handled the same way regardless of whether you are at 1.5mg, 4mg, 9mg or 25mg: skip it, do not double up, and resume your normal schedule the following day.
If you have missed enough doses that you are unsure whether to restart at the same dose or step back down, that is a question for your prescriber, not something to decide alone.
Restarting at a higher dose than your body has adjusted to can increase the chance of side effects returning, so it is worth checking before you improvise.
When to contact your prescriber
This is general guidance, not medical advice. If you have missed several doses, or you feel unwell after restarting, contact your prescriber before carrying on.
