It\u2019s the season to eat, drink and be merry after all. So it\u2019s not uncommon for patients to want to pause their GLP-1 weight loss injections, like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.simpleonlinepharmacy.co.uk\/weight-loss\/mounjaro\/\">Mounjaro<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.simpleonlinepharmacy.co.uk\/online-doctor\/weight-loss\/wegovy\/\">Wegovy<\/a>, over the holidays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But stopping and restarting your medication comes with risks \u2013 and some of them can be serious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To help you stay safe on your weight loss journey and enjoy the festive season, this article explains why pausing and restarting GLP-1 weight loss jabs isn\u2019t the best idea \u2013 and what you should do instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-why-continue-taking-glp-1s-over-christmas\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Continue Taking GLP-1s Over Christmas?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the benefits of GLP-1 receptor agonists is that they reduce your appetite and can quieten constant mental chatter about food (sometimes called \u201cfood noise\u201d).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So the good news is, you can enjoy favourite treats in moderation and celebrate Christmas and New Year without being preoccupied with food and weight regain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you stop taking GLP-1s over Christmas, the effects may decrease. Your previous hunger levels will likely return over the festive season and food noise could also get louder again. This might make it harder to stay on track over the holidays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Remember that GLP-1s are not a \u201cquick fix\u201d to lose weight rapidly. The goal is to establish exercise and healthy eating habits to support long-term weight management \u2013 even after you stop using them. Being consistent is key.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-can-i-pause-glp-1s-over-the-festive-season\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I Pause GLP-1s Over the Festive Season?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We\u2019d strongly <strong>advise against pausing<\/strong> your medication over the holidays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you have stopped taking your GLP-1 weight loss pen for a period, it\u2019s likely you\u2019ll need to resume on a lower dose. So please let us, or your healthcare provider, know if this is the case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you stop using GLP-1 weight loss injections, like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.medicines.org.uk\/emc\/product\/13803\/smpc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" rel=\"dofollow\" >Wegovy<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.medicines.org.uk\/emc\/product\/15486\/smpc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" rel=\"dofollow\" >Mounjaro, the level of medication in your body drops<\/a>. So, if you resume the medication at the same dose after a period of not using it, it could be too high for your system.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cTaking an extended break over the holidays means that the majority of the drug will have left your system and your dose tolerance will decrease,\u201d explains <strong>Richard Wood, a pharmacist at Simple Online Pharmacy<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis will make it less safe for you to start back in the dose you built up to. By taking an extended break over December you increase your chance of side effects when you start back treatment. Sometimes these <a href=\"https:\/\/www.simpleonlinepharmacy.co.uk\/health-advice\/weight-loss\/serious-side-effects-glp-1s\/\">side effects can be severe<\/a> and can include pancreatitis.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pancreatitis is when <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhs.uk\/conditions\/acute-pancreatitis\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"dofollow noreferrer noopener\">the pancreas becomes inflamed<\/a>. Acute pancreatitis requires urgent medical attention and can cause complications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The pen you\u2019re using might not be safe to use if you pause and restart treatment. Opened pens only last for a set amount of time, and this can vary depending on the medicine and pen type.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For Wegovy, follow the storage and discard instructions for your specific pen. The Wegovy 7.2mg single-use pen can be stored outside the fridge at temperatures not above <strong>30\u00b0C<\/strong> for up to <strong>28 days<\/strong>. The 0.25mg, 0.5mg, 1mg, 1.7mg and 2.4mg pens can be stored outside the fridge for up to <strong>42 days<\/strong>. You should discard your pen if it has been exposed to light, temperatures above 30\u00b0C, or if it has been out of the fridge for more than 28 or 42 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re using the pen correctly and following the directions of your prescriber, your pen should be safe to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Why You Shouldn&amp;apos;t Stop GLP 1 Medication Over the Holidays\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/NJvaSMEiQlI?start=2&amp;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-can-i-change-the-day-i-inject\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I Change the Day I Inject?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It may be safe to change your weekly injection day. For example, if your injection day falls on Christmas Day, you could take it the following day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, you\u2019ll need to make sure you don\u2019t take two doses of Mounjaro within three days (72 hours). For Wegovy, don\u2019t take two doses within two days (48 hours).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-i-ve-missed-my-dose-what-should-i-do\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">I\u2019ve Missed My Dose: What Should I Do?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019ve missed your dose, you\u2019ll need to follow the manufacturer\u2019s guidance for the treatment you\u2019re using:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>For Mounjaro: <\/strong>Take within four days of the missed dose. If it\u2019s been more than four days, <a href=\"https:\/\/mounjaro.lilly.com\/how-to-use-mounjaro\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">the manufacturer advises you<\/a> to skip the dose and take your next scheduled dose on your usual injection day.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>For Wegovy: <\/strong>Take within five days of the missed dose. If it\u2019s been more than five days, take your next scheduled dose on your usual injection day. If it&#8217;s been more than 14 days since your last dose, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wegovy.com\/taking-wegovy\/dosing-schedule.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" rel=\"dofollow\" >the manufacturer advises<\/a> you to talk to your provider about how to restart your treatment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019ve missed your dose, don\u2019t \u201cdouble up\u201d treatment. Leave a gap of at least three days (72 hours) between Mounjaro doses. For Wegovy, leave a gap of at least two days (48 hours).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-restarting-treatment-safely\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Restarting Treatment Safely<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tell your healthcare provider if it has been more than three weeks since your last dose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019ve had a break in treatment on Wegovy or Mounjaro, you may need to restart at a lower dose. This will help you prevent a bad reaction when you start again. Your provider will advise on the best dose for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-missed-and-skipped-doses-at-a-glance\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Missed and Skipped Doses: At a Glance<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Scenario<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Mounjaro<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Wegovy<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Safety note<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Want to move your injection day<\/strong> (e.g. avoid Christmas Day)<\/td><td>You can change day <strong>but leave at least 3 days (72 hours) between injections, <\/strong>according to the manufacturer.

You can still enjoy Christmas on GLP-1s, but preparation is key to success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.simpleonlinepharmacy.co.uk\/health-advice\/weight-loss\/christmas-on-glp-1\/\">This article<\/a> helps you navigate the festive season on weight loss jabs. Get tips to help you stay on track, including how to manage common side effects and how to balance nutritious food and festive treats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-make-small-nutritional-tweaks\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Make Small Nutritional Tweaks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You don\u2019t have to give up the foods you love when you&#8217;re on GLP-1 weight loss treatment. Making a few changes to what \u2013 and how \u2013 you eat can make a big difference:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Enjoy smaller portions throughout the day<\/strong>, so you don\u2019t feel overstuffed and uncomfortable. Avoid \u201csaving up\u201d for one big meal.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Eat slowly.<\/strong> This can also help you reduce bloating and stomach discomfort.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Make small changes to your festive favourites.<\/strong> Christmas dinner is packed with nutrients (think Brussels sprouts, lean protein and healthy fats). Here\u2019s how you can build a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.simpleonlinepharmacy.co.uk\/health-advice\/weight-loss\/diet-advice\/healthy-roast-dinner\/\">healthier version of your classic roast dinner<\/a> (with just a few tweaks).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Drink plenty of fluids!<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Eat what you love \u2013 and leave the rest. <\/strong>You don\u2019t have to eat something just because it\u2019s tradition. Eat the foods you <em>really <\/em>want to eat and skip the rest.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-inject-your-dose-in-the-evening\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Inject Your Dose in the Evening<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many patients prefer to inject their dose in the evening, so they\u2019re relaxed, home and comfortable. And if you experience side effects after your injection, you may find you\u2019re able to sleep through them when they\u2019re at their worst.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-stay-on-the-same-dose\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Stay on the Same Dose<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many patients find the side effects (like nausea and vomiting) get worse after they increase their dose. So, if you\u2019re due a dose increase around Christmas time, you might want to wait until after the holidays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-limit-alcohol-to-avoid-making-side-effects-worse\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Limit Alcohol to Avoid Making Side Effects Worse<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re taking Mounjaro or Wegovy, you can still drink alcohol. However, we\u2019d recommend limiting it to avoid making side effects worse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHow you react to alcohol may change too,\u201d Richard explains. \u201cYou may experience the negative effects of alcohol much earlier than before and your hangovers may be worse. You need to relearn your limits. So either avoid or minimise your intake until you know how you will react.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you do choose to drink alcohol, try not to drink on an empty stomach. Make sure you drink enough water too, as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cancer.gov\/publications\/dictionaries\/cancer-terms\/def\/diuretic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">alcohol is a diuretic<\/a> \u2013 it causes the body to get rid of excess fluid and salt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It might be the case that you don\u2019t want to drink alcohol on Mounjaro or Wegovy in the first place. According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s41598-023-48267-2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">recent research<\/a>, GLP-1s can reduce cravings and the desire to drink. This is a great opportunity to replace an alcoholic drink with something hydrating and lighter on your stomach \u2013 leaving you feeling energised for the evening ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-talk-to-your-healthcare-provider-for-support\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Talk to Your Healthcare Provider For Support<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Get in touch with your healthcare provider if you have any concerns about how and when to take your dose over the festive season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re a patient with us, remember we&#8217;re here to support you every step of the way. So please talk to us if you have any questions about your weight loss medication and when to take it. Call us on <a href=\"tel:+441417745023\">0141 774 5023<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We will have less support available on Christmas, Boxing Day and New Year\u2019s Day. For anything urgent, contact out-of-hours health services, like NHS 111. We\u2019d recommend checking the festive opening hours of your local GP practices and pharmacies ahead of time too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-key-takeaways\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key Takeaways<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Don\u2019t pause and restart unless you\u2019ve been advised to:<\/strong> Stopping your GLP-1 and restarting at the same dose after a break may be unsafe. It could increase the risk of serious side effects (including pancreatitis). If you\u2019ve stopped, tell your prescriber as you may need to restart on a lower dose.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Be mindful of pen safety and shelf life:<\/strong> Opened pens only last for a set time, and this can vary depending on the medicine and pen type. Always follow the instructions for the specific pen you have. The Wegovy 7.2mg single-use pen can be stored outside the fridge at temperatures not above <strong>30\u00b0C<\/strong> for up to <strong>28 days<\/strong> and should be discarded after this time, or sooner if exposed to light or temperatures above 30\u00b0C. Other Wegovy pens (0.25mg, 0.5mg, 1mg, 1.7mg and 2.4mg) can be stored outside the fridge at temperatures not above <strong>30\u00b0C<\/strong> for up to <strong>42 days<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Stopping can make Christmas harder, not easier:<\/strong> If you pause treatment, hunger and \u201cfood noise\u201d can return. This may make it tougher to stay consistent with your goals over the festive period and lead to weight gain.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>A one-off shift of your injection day may be fine:<\/strong> Manufacturers advise you to leave a minimum of 72 hours between Mounjaro doses and 48 hours for Wegovy. If you miss a dose, follow the manufacturers\u2019 missed-dose guidance.<br><strong>Stick to your routine and reduce side effects with simple habits:<\/strong> Keep your usual dosing schedule where possible, consider injecting in the evening, eat smaller portions, drink plenty of water, and limit alcohol to avoid worsening side effects. If you need support, speak to your healthcare provider, or call <strong>0141 774 5023<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-references\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">References<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alcohol (contained in alcoholic beverages) and Wegovy Interactions.
