What If My Medication Got Warm or Cold?
Brief temperature excursion: If your pen was left out for a few hours but stayed under 86°F, it's likely fine. GLP-1 medications have some stability buffer.
Prolonged heat exposure: If left in a hot car (over 100°F) for hours, the medication may be degraded. When in doubt, contact your pharmacist.
Freezing: If your medication froze, do NOT use it. Freezing damages the peptide structure and can make it ineffective or dangerous.
Visual check: If the solution looks cloudy, has particles, or is discolored (should be clear and colorless), don't use it.
