How should I store my Mounjaro pen?
KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN OR VUNERABLE ADULTS
Storing your Mounjaro correctly will ensure it remains effective and safe so that you can get the most from your medication.
How should I store my Mounjaro pen? Follow these guidelines to store Mounjaro properly:
- Keep Mounjaro in its original packaging, in order to protect it from light, moisture, and other external factors.
- Store Mounjaro in the refrigerator between 36°F (2°C) and 46°F (8°C) – However, Mounjaro can be stored at room temperature (but below 30 degrees) for 6 weeks whilst in use, without having any effect on the efficacy of the drug (see side of box to clarify).
- Avoid freezing Mounjaro, as extreme temperatures can render it ineffective.
- Protect from light, as Tirzepatide is sensitive to light exposure, so it’s essential to keep Mounjaro in its packaging and store it away from direct sunlight or brightly lit areas.
- Do not leave the needle attached after each injection, as this could be dangerous and poses a risk of infection.
Each Mounjaro pen will last until its expiration date, but once used for the first time, it will last 6 weeks. Always check the medication through the glass window on the pen before use, to make sure it’s not cloudy or coloured.
