Take as soon as remembered. Resume normal weekly schedule.

Skip the missed dose. Take next regularly scheduled dose. Don't double up.

Multiple consecutive weeks missed

Consult prescriber. May need to re-titrate from lower dose — tolerance fades during gaps; restarting at maintenance can cause severe nausea.

Daily liraglutide

Miss a dose: take next at normal time. Don't double up. >3 days: re-titrate as if starting fresh.

Switching products

Coordinate with prescriber. No fixed wash-out between sema and tirz; dose equivalencies aren't direct. Prescriber will start you at appropriate dose of new agent based on old dose.
