If it's been 4 days or less since your missed dose, take your injection as soon as you remember. If it's been more than 4 days, skip the missed dose entirely and take your next injection on your regular scheduled day. Never take two doses at once or within a few days of each other.
4 days or less: Take your injection as soon as you remember. You can keep your original weekly schedule or start a new schedule based on the day you took the late dose - whichever is easier to remember.
More than 4 days: Skip the missed dose. Resume on your regular scheduled day. Don't try to "catch up" by taking extra medication - this increases the risk of side effects like nausea without improving results.
Restarting after several weeks off: If you've missed multiple weeks, contact the care team before restarting. You may need to ease back in at a lower dose to minimize side effects.
