How long is compounded semaglutide good for?

The usable life of compounded semaglutide is set by the beyond-use date assigned by the compounding pharmacy and printed on your vial — follow that date, not general estimates. Store it as instructed (usually refrigerated), keep it away from light and freezing, and never use medication that is past its beyond-use date or looks cloudy or discolored.

Follow the beyond-use date

Compounded medications carry a beyond-use date rather than a manufacturer expiration date. This date reflects how long the specific preparation remains stable and is the authoritative guide for your vial.

Storage that protects potency

Keep it refrigerated unless told otherwise, protect it from light, and do not freeze it. Discard any vial that is discolored, cloudy, or has particles. When traveling, use an insulated cooler with a cold pack.
