What the label says

Keep in the refrigerator at 36°F to 46°F (2°C to 8°C). Before the cap is removed, the pen can be kept at 46°F to 86°F (8°C to 30°C) for up to 28 days. Protect from light and don't freeze.

Traveling with it

  • Keep it in your carry-on, not checked bags, where temperatures can swing.
  • Bring it in the original labeled package. TSA allows medicines and cooling packs through screening.
  • Up to 28 days at 46°F to 86°F (8°C to 30°C) is the label's limit outside the fridge.
  • More tips: traveling with GLP-1 pens.

If it froze or got too hot

Don't use it if it has been frozen or kept outside the label's temperature range. Ask your pharmacist about a replacement.
