🌡️ **Important Advice for GLP-1 Agonists Users During the Heatwave**
Due to the upcoming heatwave, it is essential to store your injection pens **in the fridge** as advised in the manufacturer’s leaflet.
🚫 **Do NOT use the pens** if they appear damaged or compromised in any way.
✅ Once dispensed, the safe storage of your medication becomes your responsibility. **Do not leave the pens in the heat**, as they are only temperature-controlled while in the pharmacy.
💧 **Stay safe and cool** by following these tips:
- Drink plenty of fluids (monitor your urine—**it should be light in color**)
- Stay in cool environments where possible
- Don’t skip meals
- Contact the pharmacy if you experience **any side effects**, even minor ones—please don’t wait for your next appointment
☀️ If you develop signs of **heatstroke**, please contact us **immediately** to discuss whether you should continue using your GLP-1 inhibitors.
