How should I store Wegovy pill at home or while traveling?
Short answer
Store Wegovy pill as directed on the pharmacy label and manufacturer’s packaging. Keep it away from children, pets, heat, and moisture. Do not use storage rules for injectable semaglutide. Ask your pharmacist before moving tablets to a pill organizer or using tablets that may have been damaged during travel.
Use the storage directions on your Wegovy pill package and pharmacy label. Check the listed temperature range and any instructions about keeping tablets in their original container. Tablets and injections may have different storage needs, so do not follow instructions meant for a semaglutide pen.
Keep the medicine out of reach of children and pets. Avoid places with heat or moisture, such as a bathroom, a sunny windowsill, or a parked car. Keep the container closed as directed. Ask your pharmacist before placing tablets in a weekly organizer, since some tablets need their original packaging to protect them from moisture.
When traveling, keep the medicine in its labeled package where you can control storage conditions. If the package arrives wet, damaged, or exposed to unusual temperatures, contact the dispensing pharmacy before using it. Appearance alone cannot confirm that a medicine is safe to take. Check the expiration date and ask the pharmacist how to dispose of unused or expired tablets safely.
