Can You Use Expired Ozempic?

What happens if you use expired semaglutide, the weight loss medication also sold as Ozempic and Wegovy? Taking the expired type 2 diabetes medication is not recommended, as it can be less effective and cause infections if bacteria has started to grow inside the fluid. As time goes on, there’s a greater chance of contamination. Unsure of when your medication expires? Your semaglutide injection pen or vial comes with an expiration date. It’s also recommended to check storage instructions. If your semaglutide has expired, or if it’s cloudy or contains floating particles, it’s best to toss it out! If you’re unsure, contact your healthcare provider or pharmacy. (AOL)
