Short answer: Keep Trulicity pens in the fridge at 36-46°F (2-8°C). If needed, each single-dose pen can be kept at room temperature, not above 86°F (30°C), for a total of 14 days. Do not freeze it, and do not use a pen that has been frozen. Keep it in the carton to protect it from light. Source: Trulicity label, section 16.2.

Section 16.2: “If needed, each single-dose pen can be kept at room temperature, not to exceed 86°F (30°C) for a total of 14 days.” Like Mounjaro, the word “total” means time out of the fridge adds up.
No. Each Trulicity pen is single-dose: it holds one weekly dose and is thrown away after the injection. The only clock is the 14-day room-temperature total before you use it.
The 0.75 mg Instructions for Use add: “Protect your Pen from direct heat and light.” Dose details are on the Trulicity guide and the dulaglutide page.
Frozen: “Do not freeze your Pen. If the Pen has been frozen, throw the Pen away and use a new Pen” (Instructions for Use).
Out more than 14 days in total, or above 86°F (30°C): the label gives no allowance past those limits. Talk to your pharmacist or Lilly (1-800-545-5979, listed in the Instructions for Use) before using it.
Trulicity pens can travel at room temperature, below 86°F (30°C), for up to 14 days in total. Since each pen is one dose, pack only the pens for the trip.
