What should I do if I miss a Personalized Tirzepatide injection?
Short answer
Follow the missed-dose instructions on your Personalized Tirzepatide label and from your prescribing physician. Do not double your dose or inject doses close together to catch up. If the label does not explain what to do, contact your prescriber or pharmacist with the date and time of your last injection.
Your prescription label and prescribing physician should guide what you do after a missed Personalized Tirzepatide dose. Do not guess, double the next dose, or change your weekly schedule without checking those instructions. The timing of your last injection matters.
Tell your prescriber or pharmacist when your last dose was given, when the missed dose was due, and what dose you currently use. They can tell you whether to take the missed dose or wait for the next scheduled injection. If you cannot find missed-dose directions, ask before injecting.
If you have missed several weekly doses, contact your prescriber before restarting. Do not assume your previous dose is still the right one. A longer break may affect how well you tolerate treatment, and your physician may need to adjust the restart plan.
A weekly reminder or dose log can help you keep track. If you accidentally inject an extra dose, seek prompt advice from your prescriber or Poison Control at 1-800-222-1222. Call 911 for severe symptoms.
