What temperature should I keep my Wegovy pens at when travelling?
Unopened Wegovy pens should be kept refrigerated between 2°C and 8°C during travel, using an insulated cooler or medical travel case to maintain this range and prevent freezing. Once removed from refrigeration, pens can be stored below 30°C for up to 6 weeks, protected from heat, direct sunlight, and extreme cold in hand luggage or an insulated pouch. Always carry pens in your hand luggage, not checked baggage, and consult a pharmacist if exposed to improper temperatures.
Key points:
- Unopened pens require refrigeration at 2–8°C and must not freeze.
- Once removed from refrigeration, pens can be stored below 30°C for up to 6 weeks.
- Use insulated pouches or coolers for temperature control.
- Keep in hand luggage to avoid hold temperature extremes.
