Quick Answer
Unopened pens go in the fridge (36-46°F). After first use, room temperature up to 86°F is allowed — but the window differs by brand: Ozempic 56 days, Wegovy 28 days, Mounjaro 30 days, Zepbound 21 days. Never freeze — a frozen pen must be discarded. For travel, carry-on only in an insulated case; room temp is fine for trips under 21 days.
Storage requirements by medication
| Medication | Before first use | After first use (room temp) | Max room temp |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wegovy | Refrigerate 36-46F | 28 days | 86F (30C) |
| Ozempic | Refrigerate 36-46F | 56 days | 86F (30C) |
| Zepbound | Refrigerate 36-46F | 21 days | 86F (30C) |
| Mounjaro | Refrigerate 36-46F | 21 days | 86F (30C) |
| Saxenda | Refrigerate 36-46F | 30 days | 77F (25C) |
| Foundayo (oral) | Room temp | N/A (daily pill) | 77F (25C) |
Refrigerator storage tips
- Store in the main compartment, not the door (temperature fluctuates in the door)
- Keep away from the freezer compartment
- Do not store in the crisper drawer (humidity can affect pens)
- Use a refrigerator thermometer to verify 36-46F
- Keep pens in their original carton to protect from light
Travel storage guide
Short trips (under 21-28 days)
Room temperature storage is acceptable. Keep medication below 86F. Use an insulated bag in hot weather.
Long trips (over 28 days)
Use a portable medical cooler (FRIO bag or similar) with cold packs. Keep in carry-on luggage. Never check GLP-1 medications in baggage.
Flying
- Keep medication in carry-on with a doctor's note
- TSA allows medical ice packs through security
- Do not store in overhead bins during flight (temperature varies)
- See our GLP-1 travel guide for full details
Moving or relocating
GLP-1 medications should ride with you in a cooler, never in a moving truck or a non-climate-controlled unit — even a few hours above 86F can degrade them. If you're relocating and need temporary storage for household items, facilities like climate-controlled storage units in Miami protect heat-sensitive belongings — but always keep medication on your person in an insulated case.
