How to store weight-loss medication

Storage guidelines and out-of-fridge time limits for common weight-loss medications.

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 a while without affecting 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 doesn't 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 exact storage instructions.
