What is the shelf life of zepbound?

What is Zepbound’s shelf life (how long can it be stored)?

Zepbound shelf life depends on the specific product package/pen label. The manufacturer’s storage instructions and the expiration date printed on the carton and pen are what determine usable life. Those dates are set assuming the medication is stored exactly as directed (for example, refrigerated before first use if required, and then handled according to the package directions after that). [1]

How do storage conditions affect whether Zepbound is still safe to use?

If Zepbound is not stored correctly for the conditions listed on its prescribing information and labeling, its usable shelf life can be shortened even if the printed expiration date hasn’t passed. If the product was exposed to improper temperatures or handling, follow the manufacturer’s guidance or ask a pharmacist about whether to use or discard it. [1]

Where to find the exact expiration/shelf-life info for your pen

Check the expiration date on:
- the carton, and
- the Zepbound pen label.

That date is the most direct way to confirm how long that specific lot of medication should be used. [1]
