Refrigerate immediately after reconstitution at 2-8C (36-46F) Never freeze reconstituted peptide (ice crystal formation damages the protein structure) Protect from light (store in opaque container or wrap vial) Use within 4 weeks for optimal potency Discard if solution becomes cloudy, discolored, or develops precipitate Many users report acceptable potency beyond 4 weeks under proper storage, but degradation is continuous once reconstituted
[1][2] Why CVS Caremark Dropped Zepbound Better pricing from Novo Nordisk: CVS Caremark negotiated preferred pricing for Wegovy (Novo Nordisk's GLP-1), making it their preferred option Cost control: GLP-1 medications are expensive (~$1,086/month for Zepbound), and PBMs manage costs by limiting options Exclusivity agreements: Drug manufacturers compete for preferred formulary status by offering rebates What This Means for Aetna Members Standard Aetna plans: Zepbound excluded for weight loss (Wegovy preferred) Self-funded employer plans: Can choose to keep Zepbound covered Covered alternatives: Wegovy, Saxenda, Qsymia remain on most Aetna formularies For more details on how CVS Caremark affects GLP-1 coverage across all insurers: Complete CVS Caremark Guide Now that you understand the CVS Caremark connection, your plan type determines whether you can override it
