They'll say something like "take your dose as soon as you remember, unless it's almost time for your next dose." This is wrong for semaglutide because the risks are asymmetric: Late dose (taken 1 to 2 days after scheduled day): Blood levels drop slightly below target Appetite suppression weakens temporarily No increased side effect risk No safety concern Easy fix: take the dose when you remember, resume normal schedule Early dose (taken 1 to 2 days before scheduled day): Blood levels rise slightly above target Appetite suppression unchanged Modest increase in GI side effect risk Generally safe for one-time occurrence Risk increases if it becomes a pattern The standard advice to "take it when you remember" works fine for late doses
