Keep your GLP-1 vials refrigerated at 36-46°F (2-8°C). Do not freeze. Store in the original carton or amber vial to protect from light. Before each use, inspect the solution - it should be clear and colorless to slightly yellow. Do not use if it's cloudy, discolored, or has particles. If the medication appears cloudy or discolored, you may need to provide photo verification to your pharmacy to assess its usability.
