Hello All! I usually take my injection on Friday morning. I’m going out of town for a few days and was thinking of taking my injection a day early on Thursday so not to have to take with me. Has anyone taken their injections early and if so did you experience any side effects differently then when staying on the weekly schedule?

   This may sound silly but I did take my dose a day early. I started my Tirzepatide by taking my injection on Sunday but one Saturday I woke up and I was sure it was Sunday! So I took my injection and then about an hour later realized it was Saturday. I felt like an idiot, but I didn’t suffer any side effects. 😂

   I would think it should be fine.

   Thanks so much!! Really appreciate you sharing your experience. I didn’t think one day would make a big difference. Your input gave me reassurance!

   I've done it before as well, no issues.

   I've taken it early and the only problem I had was the food noise came back before it was time for the next one.

   I’m flexible about that. I will sometimes take it a day early if that’s more convenient. It hasn’t been an issue.

   Hi Kimi! Taking your dose a day early or a day late is an option. Sometimes people do this to move their injection to the day they want. We don't recommend taking it more than a day early, though. If you want to move your injection day further, you may need to work your way there over the course of several weeks.

   I have done that by a day before or day after when I got home. No issues for me
