Can I delay my next jab mid way through

By mid way through I mean I've already done 10 injections so far..

i usually do my injection on a Friday evening, then I get max suppression over the weekend and if I have any side effects it won't affect work.

Well last night when I got in from work I had a very upset stomach (tmi but I was in the bathroom over 6 times)

I think this is from eating a dodgy ham bagel at work but I'm not 100%. Noone else in my house is ill and we all eat evening meals together.

Anyway I was not well enough to do my MJ injection. Can I just leave it until next Friday?

Why can't you do it today? It has a cumulative effect in the body, so you really need to be consistent.

My stomach still feels tender and I have already been to the bathroom today, I am not 100% better but hoping I don't go again

I delayed mine for a week when I went on holiday because I didn't want the side effects. You can delay but if you delay by over 14 days you need to start back on 2.5mg. Hope you feel better soon.

This is from the guidelines:

"If you miss a dose of Mounjaro, take the missed dose as soon as possible within 4 days (96 hours) after the missed dose. If more than 4 days have passed, skip the missed dose and take your next dose on the regularly scheduled day."

So the answer is yes, you can wait till your next scheduled day to take it or take it within 4 days if you're feeling better.
