Each Wegovy® pen contains 4 doses and will therefore last 4 weeks.
Your pen can be stored at room temperature (under 30°C) for 6 weeks after first use. After this time, the pen must be discarded.
However, most patients still find it easiest to store their medication in the fridge between each use.
Storage tips:
- Keep your medication in the fridge between 2-8°C before your first use and between doses.
- Keep the pen cap on to protect the medication from light and contamination.
- Track expiration dates and set reminders to replace your medication if needed.
- IMPORTANT: Never store your medication in a freezer. If the medicine inside the pen gets frozen, do not use it even if you defrost it.
The strength of the injection is increased every 4 weeks until the maximum dose is reached.
