Trulicity Storage at a Glance
Source: Trulicity FDA prescribing information via DailyMed (SetID 463050bd-2b1c-40f5-b3c3-0a04bb433309), Section 16.2 How Supplied/Storage and Handling, read on 2026-07-12. Treat this as a summary: the full label and the patient instructions in your box are the authority.
Handling the pen or vial
Once you start using it: the in-use window is 14 days at room temperature. Write down the day you first used it — on the device itself or in your calendar — because the label says discard at the end of that window regardless of how much is left.
The carton it arrived in is the light protection, and the obvious place to write the first-use date, so keep the pen or vial inside it wherever you can. Between doses the needle comes off; a pen should never be stored with one attached.
Traveling with Trulicity
This one gives you the least room of any weekly pen in the class: 14 days out of the fridge, where its competitors allow three weeks to two months. On a trip, get it back into refrigeration at the first opportunity instead of assuming the margin you may be used to elsewhere.
