If you have unopened ozempic left out of your fridge, you need to dispose of it immediately. Once it’s been frozen, the medicine will degrade and won’t work as well as it did when you first received it.
You should also keep it out of direct sunlight or heat. This will help ensure that it stays at the proper temperature. If you are going on a trip, try to keep it in an insulated travel cooler that maintains its temperature.
Temperature
The medication contained in Ozempic (semaglutide) is sensitive to high and low temperatures. Therefore, ozempic needs to be stored properly before and after you use it.
For the first time, Ozempic should be refrigerated between 36degF and 46degF (2degC to 8degC). Once you have used the medication, it can be stored either in the refrigerator or at room temperature (59degF to 86degF) for up to 56 days.
When traveling, it is best to store your ozempic injection pen in a medical-grade travel cooler. These travel coolers are specially designed to protect temperature-sensitive medicines from extreme heat and sunlight.
Unopened ozempic should be disposed of after 56 days, even if there is still medicine left inside the pen. This disposal date is printed on the label.
Light
Having a light in the fridge helps to make it easier to search for something you have stored there. It can also help to ensure you don’t forget a meal when you open the fridge at night.
It’s not surprising then that the light in the fridge is one of the most popular features for a refrigerator. It works as a normal 120-volt lightbulb, though smaller in size and usually with a lower wattage.
It comes on when the door is opened and shuts off automatically. It is powered by a small switch in the fridge’s door frame. The switch interrupts the lightbulb’s circuit when the door closes and completes it when the door opens.
Oxygen
Oxygen (O) is a gaseous chemical element with an atomic number of 8 and an atomic weight of 15,9994. It is an important part of the human body’s respiratory system.
Oxygen is found in air, water and in the earth’s crust. It is essential for life. It is a very reactive element and easily forms oxides with all other elements.
It is also an essential part of a rocket’s oxidizer fuel. It is used in sewage treatment, and in a variety of industrial processes.
It is a common gaseous element in the earth’s atmosphere, being present in nearly one fifth of it. It has no colour or smell and is odourless at room temperature.
Disposal
Injectable medicines such as semaglutide (Ozempic) need to be stored correctly for safe and effective use. This includes keeping the medicine in the refrigerator.
After your first use, Ozempic can be left out of the fridge in a cool place for up to 56 days before it should be discarded. Do not store it near the refrigerator cooling element or in the freezer.
If you travel with a new Ozempic pen, note the date when you first started using it and throw it away after 56 days, even if there is some solution in it. Don’t keep it in the car glove compartment or any other warm place.
Once you’re done with your Ozempic pen, dispose of it in an FDA-cleared sharps disposal container. Your container should be made of heavy-duty plastic and have a tight-fitting, puncture-resistant lid. It should also be leak-resistant and stable. The container should be labeled to warn people about the contents.
