Keeping it cold, and what to do if you miss one
From each medicine's FDA label. Before first use, every injectable belongs in the fridge at 36°F to 46°F (2°C to 8°C), never frozen.
| Medicine | Out of the fridge | Missed a dose |
|---|---|---|
| Zepbound | Single-dose pen or vial: up to 21 days in total at no more than 86°F (30°C). KwikPen: thrown away 30 days after first use or after 4 doses, whichever comes first. | Take it within 4 days (96 hours). After that, skip it and take the next dose on your usual day. |
| Wegovy | Up to 28 days between 46°F and 86°F (8°C to 30°C) before the cap comes off. HD FlexTouch: 56 days after first use. | If your next dose is more than 2 days away, take it as soon as you can. If it is less than 2 days away, skip it. Missed 2 or more in a row: ask your prescriber, you may need to restart lower. |
| Wegovy pill | Tablets: room temperature, 68°F to 77°F, in the original bottle. | Skip the missed tablet and take the next one the following morning. |
| Foundayo | Tablets: room temperature. | Take it as soon as you remember, never two at once. Missed 7 or more days in a row: ask your prescriber about restarting lower. |
| Mounjaro | Single-dose pen or vial: up to 21 days in total at no more than 86°F (30°C). | Take it within 4 days (96 hours). After that, skip it. |
| Ozempic | After first use: 56 days at 59°F to 86°F (15°C to 30°C) or in the fridge. | Take it within 5 days of the missed day. After that, skip it. |
| Ozempic tablets | Tablets: room temperature, in the original bottle. | Skip the missed tablet and take the next one the following day. |
| Saxenda | After first use: 30 days at 59°F to 86°F or in the fridge. | If more than 3 days have passed, restart at 0.6 mg and ask your prescriber. |
Flying with your pens
- Injectable medicine and unused syringes or pen needles can go in your carry-on, as long as they travel with the medicine. Tell the officer at the checkpoint.
- Medically necessary liquids over 3.4 oz are allowed in carry-on bags; take them out for separate screening.
- Freeze ice packs solid and declare them. TSA's own pages differ on partly melted packs, so solid is the safe choice.
- Labels on your medicine are recommended, not required. Keep used needles in a sharps container or another hard container.
- Keep pens in your carry-on rather than a checked bag, so they stay with you and never freeze, which ruins them.
