Saxenda refrigeration: how long does Saxenda last in the fridge?
Saxenda lasts in the fridge for up to 30 days, after which time the pen should be disposed of properly whether it still contains Saxenda or not. Unused Saxenda® pens should be stored in the refrigerator at 36 degrees Fahrenheit - 46 Fahrenheit until you’re ready to use them. Saxenda refrigeration is necessary because it’s a good idea to keep Saxenda out of the heat and direct sunlight. And never use a Saxenda pen that has been frozen!
Saxenda is an FDA-approved prescription medication for chronic weight management in adults with overweight and obesity. A Saxenda prescription comes in a pre-filled pen for daily self-injection.
