How do I store injectable Semaglutide?

Storing Your Semaglutide Medication
  1. Refrigeration: Store Semaglutide in the refrigerator (36°–46°F) and keep it in its original box to protect it from light.
  2. Room Temperature: While the seal remains intact, the medication can safely stay at room temperature (68°–80°F) for up to 21 days.
  3. After Opening: Once the seal has been pierced or compromised, the medication must be refrigerated (36°–46°F).
  4. Avoid Extreme Temperatures: Do not expose Semaglutide to temperatures above 86°F or below 36°F, as this can reduce its effectiveness.
Info
Per guidance commonly provided by our partner compounding pharmacies, some compounded GLP-1 medications may have a Beyond-Use Date of approximately 90 days when unopened and up to 28 days once punctured. This can vary by formulation and pharmacy. Patients must always follow the Beyond-Use Date and storage instructions listed on their prescription label.
Notes
Compounded medications are not FDA-approved. They are prepared by licensed compounding pharmacies under medical supervision and may differ in formulation, dosing, and supporting evidence from FDA-approved products.
