What to log for Wegovy
- The date and time of each injection — the actual one, not the scheduled one.
- The dose as printed on the pen.
- The injection site (abdomen, thigh, upper arm — per the Instructions for Use).
- Doses remaining, so the refill reminder is right.
- Side effects with the date, especially after a dose change.
What the prescribing information says about a missed dose
The prescribing information for Wegovy says: If a dose is missed and the next scheduled dose is more than 2 days away, take it as soon as possible; if the next dose is less than 2 days away, skip the missed dose. If you are unsure whether you took the dose at all, the safe default in the label is not to inject again on a guess. Decisions belong to your prescriber or pharmacist.
The pen and the record
Wegovy comes as single-dose pens: there is no counter to check. Count pens left in the box against the date you opened it, and log the shot the moment it is done.
Estimated medication level for Wegovy
With a half-life of about 1 week, a weekly dose builds up over the first weeks to a plateau and falls off over weeks after stopping. EvenDose draws this as an estimated curve from your logged doses and the published half-life. It is an estimate for orientation, not a measurement, and not a basis for dose decisions.
