To illustrate how storage requirements vary between licensed peptide medicines, and why extrapolation is unreliable: Semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy) according to the respective Summaries of Product Characteristics (SmPCs) on the Electronic Medicines Compendium (EMC), these products may be stored below 30C for a defined period after first use, but conditions differ between formulations Liraglutide (Saxenda) the SmPC specifies a different room-temperature allowance and duration Tirzepatide (Mounjaro) a dual GIP/GLP-1 agonist with its own distinct storage instructions [11] [12] These examples demonstrate that even closely related agents have product-specific requirements that cannot be applied to retatrutide
