Mounjaro is taken once weekly, so occasionally a dose may be forgotten. What you should do depends on how much time has passed since the scheduled dose.

What should I do if I miss a Mounjaro dose?

If it has been no more than 4 days (96 hours), take the missed dose as soon as possible and then continue your weekly schedule.

If more than four days have passed, skip the missed dose and take your next dose on the regularly scheduled day.

Can I take two doses to make up for a missed dose?

No. Two Mounjaro doses should not be taken within 3 days (72 hours) of each other.

Can I change my Mounjaro injection day?

The weekly injection day can be changed when needed as long as there are at least 72 hours between two doses.

Does Mounjaro need to be taken at a specific time?

Mounjaro can be administered at any time of day. The important point is to follow the prescribed weekly schedule.

How can I remember my weekly dose?

Choosing a fixed day each week and setting a recurring phone or calendar reminder can make the schedule easier to follow.

Conclusion

If a Mounjaro dose is missed, it can be taken within four days. After more than four days, skip it and return to the regular schedule.
