The refrigerator interior will gradually warm to room temperature, which means your semaglutide transitions from cold storage to unrefrigerated storage
Semaglutide was initially intended for the management of type 2 diabetes
This is why the instructions for semaglutide injections tell you to inject it somewhere like your stomach, your upper arm, or your thigh, all of which are locations where excess fat will prevent injecting the medication where you shouldn't
Keeping Wegovy in carry-on luggage also reduces the risk of losing the medication if your checked luggage goes missing
This is called lean mass loss, and it's the one outcome that turns successful weight loss into a longer-term problem slowing metabolism, reducing strength, and making weight maintenance harder once you stop or reduce the medication
Your compounded semaglutide will remain stable at extreme temperatures for short periods of time but its best to contact your Care Coordination team with any concerns
