Mounjaro Storage Guide: How to Store Your Medication Properly

For Mounjaro to work effectively, it’s essential that the pens are stored correctly. How you should store them, mostly depends on whether they are currently in use or not.

For example, all unopened Mounjaro pens should be stored in the fridge until you need them. That’s why when they are delivered, they are packaged in temperature-controlled packaging, to prolong their effectiveness.

To store your unopened Mounjaro pens, you should:

• keep them in the fridge between 2 and 8°C
• store them in their original, unopened packaging which clearly displays their use-by date
• avoid using fridges that are likely to stop working or fluctuate in temperature
• avoid storing unused Mounjaro pens in the fridge door as this is where the temperature is most likely to fluctuate
• avoid freezing the Mounjaro pens – if they become frozen you must throw them away

If the unused Mounjaro pens have been stored incorrectly, frozen, or are past their expiry date, they should be thrown away.

If you’re currently using a Mounjaro Kwikpen, you can store it as follows:

• throw the used pen away 30 days after you first used it or after receiving 4 weekly doses – the pen will always last for all 4 doses unless you miss a dose

If you’re going to travel while taking Mounjaro, there are a few things you’ll need to make sure your medication is stored correctly. This will keep it usable and effective.

For unused or used Mounjaro pens that will be exposed to temperatures above 30°C, you will need to keep them refrigerated between 2 and 8°C. You should store them in their original packaging away from heat and light. To ensure the pens are kept at the correct temperature you should store Mounjaro in a cool bag.
