I stopped for a month. Can I pick up where I left off?
Answer
Labeling in this class describes restarting the escalation lower after consecutive misses, because gut tolerance fades.
In more detail
The semaglutide weight-management label describes reinitiating dosage escalation at a lower amount if two or more consecutive doses are missed, and its medication guide says to contact the prescriber about restarting. Daily liraglutide labeling describes reinitiating at the starting amount after three days or more without a dose. The underlying reason is the same in both cases: the tolerance built over weeks is not permanent, and going straight back to the amount you left at means meeting the full gut effect again with no run-up.
