How to store weight loss medication

The medication can be stored outside the refrigerator for some time

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.
