What Happens If I Miss a Dose of the Wegovy Pill or Shot?
Missing a dose of the Wegovy pill or shot does not usually cause immediate harm or completely reverse progress, but it may temporarily affect appetite regulation. Some individuals notice an increase in hunger, cravings, or changes in portion control after a missed dose, while others may experience little to no noticeable difference. Because Wegovy works gradually within the body to support appetite and satiety signals, its effects tend to taper rather than stop abruptly. A single missed dose is generally part of normal treatment variability and does not typically disrupt long-term weight management when overall use remains consistent.
If doses are missed repeatedly or over a longer period, appetite patterns may become less stable, which can make it harder to maintain structured eating habits and steady progress. In these cases, individuals may notice more frequent hunger cues or a return to previous eating behaviors. Re-establishing a regular routine helps restore the supportive effects on fullness and appetite awareness. Ongoing follow-up and open communication are important for addressing missed doses, reinforcing consistency, and ensuring that weight management remains sustainable, comfortable, and aligned with long-term health goals.
