Why a report helps
The rules in GLP-1 labels are written in days and hours. Questions such as whether a late dose still fell inside the window, or whether moving your weekly day left enough time between two doses, are easier to answer with a dated record than with memory.
The Medication Guides for Ozempic® and Wegovy® also ask you to keep a list of the medicines you take to show your healthcare provider and pharmacist, and to talk to your provider about side effects that bother you or do not go away [1][2]. A report puts the dose part of that picture on one page, and if you see more than one healthcare professional, it lets everyone look at the same record.
Timing rules a dated log helps answer
These are the missed-dose and day-change rules as each US label writes them. They are quoted to explain why exact dates matter, not as instructions; what applies to you is for your prescriber to say.
| Medicine | If a weekly dose is missed | Changing the weekly day | Label section |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ozempic® [1] | Late dose allowed up to 5 days after the missed one; beyond that, it is skipped and the usual day continues | Allowed if at least 2 days (more than 48 hours) separate the two doses | 2.1 (Revised 05/2026) |
| Wegovy® injection [2] | Take it as soon as possible if the next dose is more than 2 days (48 hours) away; if it is closer, skip it. Two or more missed doses in a row are handled differently in the label | No rule in the missed-dose section | 2.4 (Revised 06/2026) |
| Mounjaro® [3] | Late dose allowed up to 4 days (96 hours) after the missed one; beyond that, it is skipped and the usual day continues | Allowed if at least 3 days (72 hours) separate the two doses | 2.1 (Revised 08/2026) |
| Zepbound® [4] | Late dose allowed up to 4 days (96 hours) after the missed one; beyond that, it is skipped and the usual day continues | Allowed if at least 3 days (72 hours) separate the two doses | 2.3 (Revised 08/2026) |
What a dose history should show
The person reading the report does not know your routine as well as you do, so each line should make sense on its own. A good dose history includes:
- The date range it covers, stated at the top.
- Each dose with its date, time and injection site.
- The dose exactly as prescribed, so any change in the plan is visible.
- Missed, late or moved doses, with a short explanation rather than an unexplained gap.
- Which pen, cartridge or vial each dose came from, if that matters for your medicine.
- A note of anything you want to discuss, such as a side effect or a pen that was replaced.
What the PepLabo PDF contains
The report is built from your dose log on the phone. It is laid out for A4 paper, with a header showing the period, the date and time it was generated and, only if you switch it on, your name. Below that come three parts:
- Summary: for each compound, the number of doses, the number recorded as skipped, the total amount and the dates of the first and last dose in the period.
- Dose log: one row per entry with date and time, compound, amount, injection site and, if you include them, the note and pain score you added to that dose.
- Vial stock, if you include it: what is left in each active vial, its lot number and its expiry date.
- Every report ends with two lines: that it is not medical advice and is for tracking only, and that the entries are what you logged, with nothing calculated or recommended.
Creating the report
- Open Settings › Data & connections › Export report. Without Pro the row shows a Pro badge and opens the Pro screen.
- Choose the Period: 30 days, 90 days or All. The screen shows how many entries fall in that period.
- Under Include, decide on Notes and pain scores and Vial stock (both on at first) and My name (off at first, and unavailable until you add a name to your profile).
- Tap Create PDF. Your phone’s share sheet opens, so you can save the file, print it or send it to the person you choose.
Tidy the log before you create the report
- In Dose History, use Log past dose for any dose you took but forgot to log, with the right date and time. A dose cannot be logged in the future.
- Open an entry to correct a wrong date or time. The amount cannot be edited; to change it, remove the dose and log it again, and the amount goes back into the vial.
- Scan the weekly grid for days marked Missed and check whether the dose was missed or just not recorded. The PDF lists entries only, so a missed dose appears as a gap.
- Fill in the injection site where it is missing. The site is optional when you log, and the dose screen suggests the site you have not used the longest.
- Add a short note to the dose where something unusual happened, such as a late dose or a new pen, because dose notes are what the report can carry.
Dates the labels themselves ask you to note
Some details come straight from the Instructions for Use. The Ozempic® pen instructions say to throw a pen away 56 days after first use, even if medicine is left, and suggest writing the disposal date on your calendar [1]. The Ozempic® and Wegovy® prefilled syringe instructions say to record the date a syringe was taken out of the refrigerator and to dispose of it if it is not used within 28 days [1][2].
In PepLabo, a note on the first dose from a new pen puts that date in the report, and the vial stock section shows each vial’s lot and expiry date. Daily notes are kept in the app but are not part of the PDF.
PDF report or data export?
A PDF is made for reading. It is what you hand to a clinician or attach to a message, and it looks the same on every screen. A data export is made for keeping: a file with all your records that you can store, back up or load on another phone.
In PepLabo, exporting your data as a file is available whenever you want, without Pro, from Settings › Transfer data. The PDF report of your history is part of PepLabo Pro. You can use both: the PDF for the appointment, the export for your own archive.
What a report is not
A report is a record of what you logged. It is not a medical record, it does not interpret anything and it does not suggest what should happen next. If something in it looks wrong, such as a run of missed doses or a side effect that keeps coming back, that is a question for your healthcare provider.
It is also your health information. The PDF is made on your phone and goes only where you send it; PepLabo has no portal that passes reports to clinicians [5]. Share it with the people you choose, through a channel you trust.
