Does injectable Semaglutide need to be refrigerated?
Yes, your Semaglutide medication should be refrigerated (36° - 46°) and stored in its original box to protect it from light.
While the seal remains intact on your Semaglutide medication, it is fine for it to remain at room temperature (68° - 80°) for up to 21 days.
Once the seal on your Semaglutide medication has been pierced or compromised and has been exposed to air, the medication needs to be refrigerated (36° - 46°).
Avoid exposing your Semaglutide medication to extreme temperatures (above 86°F or below 36°F). This can cause the medication to break down and be less effective.
