How to store weight loss medication

The medication can be stored outside the refrigerator for some time

Updated over 2 months ago

Most weight loss medications, such as Ozempic, Wegovy, Saxenda and Mounjaro, must be stored in the refrigerator (2–8°C).

However, the pen can also be stored outside the refrigerator for some time without losing its effectiveness:

  • Ozempic: up to 8 weeks

  • Wegovy: up to 6 weeks

  • Saxenda: up to 4 weeks

  • Mounjaro: up to 4 weeks

  • Rybelsus is a tablet and does not need to be stored in the refrigerator.

Never store your medication in the freezer or in direct sunlight; always keep the temperature below 30°C. Always check the package leaflet for the exact storage instructions.
