Proper storage of your medication is important to maintain its effectiveness and safety. Here are the guidelines for storing GLP-1 medications like Semaglutide and Tirzepatide:
1. Refrigeration
Store in the Refrigerator: It is best to keep your medication refrigerated.
2. Room Temperature
If necessary, GLP-1 medications can be stored at room temperature, typically up to 28 days.
Always check the medication’s specific manufacturer guidelines for how long it can remain unrefrigerated.
3. Handling After Opening
For medications in vials: Once opened, store in the refrigerator and follow the beyond-use date provided by the pharmacy or manufacturer.
For prefilled pens: Follow the specific storage instructions for your pen, as some allow room temperature storage after the first use.
