Missed dose
The practical ones: titration, half-life, washout, and what a missed dose does.
What is Missed dose?
A weekly injection that got skipped.
With semaglutide and tirzepatide the rule is five days: inside that window, take it late. Past it, leave that dose alone and pick the schedule back up as normal. Never stack two to catch up.
