Managing Missed Doses of Your Medication
We recognise the importance of adhering to your dosing schedule, however, we understand that occasionally unforeseen circumstances may prevent timely dosing.
Please note that this guide is only applicable to our weekly injectables with the Juniper Weight Reset Program.
What if I miss a dose?
If you miss a dose of your weekly injection and it is within 5 days of your last injection day, take the missed dose as soon as you remember. You can continue with your next dose on your next scheduled day.
If it has been more than 5 days, skip the missed dose and continue with your next scheduled dose.
For example, if your usual injection day is Friday and you miss your dose but remember on Monday, you can inject your medication as normal as it is within 5 days. Your next dose can be on Friday as usual, or you can adjust to Monday the following week if that works better for you. Just ensure there's a minimum of 3 days between each dose.
You can miss up to 2 doses without disrupting your dosing schedule. This allows you to inject within 21 days of your last dose.
What if I have missed 3 or more doses of my medication?
If it has been more than 3 weeks since your last injection, it is recommended to reduce your dose to prevent severe side effects due to the lower levels of medication in your body. This should not significantly impact your weight loss journey if you maintain a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity.
