If your Wegovy pen is unopened and you are not using it straight away, place it in the fridge once received so it continues to be stored correctly.
Store unopened Wegovy pens in the main body of the fridge, between 2°C and 8°C, in the original box, away from the cooling element, away from the freezer compartment, and away from direct heat or sunlight.
Do not freeze your pen.
Once your Wegovy pen is in use, it can be stored either in the fridge or at room temperature below 30°C for up to 6 weeks.
Avoid storing your pen in the fridge door, where the temperature may fluctuate; at the back of the fridge, where it may freeze; near a radiator or heat source; in direct sunlight; or in a hot car.
If your pen has frozen, do not use it. Freezing can damage the medication, even if the liquid looks normal after thawing.
If you are unsure whether your pen has been stored correctly, please contact our Patient Care Team before using it.
