Frequently asked questions

Keep unopened pens refrigerated at 2°C to 8°C (36°F to 46°F) in their original packaging, away from light and moisture; do not freeze the medication; once in use, Mounjaro can be kept at room temperature up to 30°C (86°F) for up to 30 days, Wegovy up to 42 days, and Ozempic up to 56 days; store used pens away from heat and out of reach of children; and dispose of pens after the recommended usage period, even if medicine remains.
02
Can I travel with my medication?
Yes, but keep your medication in a cool, insulated case during travel to maintain recommended temperatures. Carry the medication in hand luggage to avoid extreme temperature exposure in checked baggage. Do not freeze the medication during travel.
03
How do I properly dispose of used pens?
Used pens must be disposed of in a designated sharps bin to safely handle needles and prevent injury or contamination. Do not throw used pens in the regular household bins.
04
What are common side effects of these medications?
Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, stomach pain, and injection site reactions like redness or swelling; these side effects are often mild and tend to improve as your body adjusts to the medication. If you experience severe or persistent side effects such as dehydration, severe abdominal pain, or signs of allergic reaction, contact your healthcare provider immediately. Staying well-hydrated and following dietary recommendations can help manage many mild side effects.
