Can I take my jab 5 days after my last one?

I was poorly last week so took my injection two days later on Saturday. I want my day to still be Thursday as it works great for me over the weekend. Can I take it again today or am I going to have bad side effects?

Yes you can take it. The instructions (on page 9) say that the minimum time between two injections must be 3 days: "If necessary, you can change the day of your weekly injection, as long as it has been at least 3 days since your last injection"

I have changed the day like this and been absolutely fine. You could also consider doing it in two steps, so do Friday this week and then Thursday next week.

You can. I was taking 5mg regularly at 5 day intervals before moving up to 7.5mg every 7 days.

I’ve done it, yes. No issues.
