Mounjaro
Life happens — maybe you were travelling, forgot your pen at home, or just lost track of time.
Missing a Mounjaro (tirzepatide) dose is more common than you think, and the good news is: it’s not the end of the world.
At PPRX Online Pharmacy, we support thousands of Mounjaro users across the UK, and one of the most common questions we get is:
“What should I do if I miss my injection?”
Here’s everything you need to know to safely get back on schedule without losing progress.
How Mounjaro Works (and Why Timing Matters)
Mounjaro is a once-weekly injection that helps you lose weight by mimicking two key hormones — GLP-1 and GIP.
These hormones regulate appetite, digestion, and blood sugar levels.
When injected weekly, they work steadily in your system to:
- Reduce hunger and cravings
- Help you eat smaller portions
- Improve insulin balance and fat metabolism
Because Mounjaro’s effects build over time, consistency is key — missing a dose occasionally won’t stop progress, but repeated delays can reduce its effectiveness.
If You Miss a Mounjaro Dose (Less Than 4 Days Late)
If it’s been 4 days or less since your scheduled injection, take your missed dose as soon as possible.
Then, continue your next injection on your regular day the following week.
Example:
- Usual injection day: Monday
- You forgot and remember on Thursday → inject Thursday
- Next week → go back to Monday
This keeps your weekly rhythm steady without doubling up doses.
If You Miss a Mounjaro Dose (More Than 4 Days Late)
If it’s been more than 4 days since your usual injection day, skip that dose and wait until your next scheduled injection.
Do not try to “catch up” by injecting two doses close together — that can increase the risk of nausea, vomiting, or digestive upset.
Instead, get back to your regular weekly pattern and stay consistent from then on.
If You Miss Two or More Doses in a Row
If you’ve missed two or more weeks, your body may need time to re-adjust.
Contact your pharmacist or prescriber before restarting.
You may need to:
- Resume at a lower dose (e.g. 2.5 mg)
- Gradually titrate back up
- Reset your injection day if it fits your schedule better
At PPRX, our pharmacists can help you safely restart — simply reach out via email or WhatsApp after your order for guidance.

What Happens If You Miss a Dose Regularly
Occasional forgetfulness won’t cause major issues, but missing doses frequently can:
- Slow down weight loss progress
- Cause hunger or cravings to return
- Lead to blood sugar fluctuations
- Increase digestive discomfort when restarting
To keep your body stable, aim to inject on the same day each week, ideally at the same time (morning or evening).
Tips to Avoid Missing a Mounjaro Dose
1. Set a Weekly Reminder
Use your phone alarm or calendar to alert you every 7 days at the same time.
2. Keep Your Pen Visible
Store your pen in your fridge door or a travel case where you’ll see it regularly.
3. Travel with a Cool Bag
If you’re going away, use a small insulated pouch with a cold pack to keep your pen chilled (PPRX provides travel guidance if needed).
4. Pair It with a Routine Habit
For example: “Every Sunday after breakfast” or “Every Friday after dinner.”
5. Reorder Early
Don’t wait until your last pen runs out. PPRX offers next-day delivery — but delays can happen during holidays or postal disruptions.

What NOT to Do After Missing a Dose
To avoid side effects or reduced effectiveness:
- Don’t inject two doses in the same week
- Don’t double your dose to “make up for it”
- Don’t switch days repeatedly — consistency matters
- Don’t stop treatment suddenly without medical advice
If you’re ever unsure, our pharmacists can review your dosing plan and get you back on track quickly.

FAQs
Can I take my missed Mounjaro dose a few days late?
Yes, if it’s within 4 days — otherwise skip and resume your next dose on schedule.
What if I miss several doses?
Contact PPRX for pharmacist advice before restarting — you may need to lower your dose first.
Will missing one dose make me gain weight?
No, but consistency delivers the best results. Missing multiple doses can slow your progress.
Can I change my injection day permanently?
Yes — if it’s been at least 3 days since your last injection, you can switch to a new permanent weekly day.
Final Thoughts: Missed Dose? Don’t Panic. Just Reset.
Missing a dose doesn’t undo your hard work.
Simply take it within 4 days if possible — or skip and continue next week.
The key is consistency and calm — your results won’t vanish because of one mistake.
