Short answer: Store Zoladex 3.6 mg at room temperature, not above 77°F (25°C). Each implant comes in a disposable syringe sealed in a light- and moisture-proof foil pouch with a desiccant capsule; the pouch and syringe are checked for damage before use. The label does not call for refrigeration. Source: Zoladex 3.6 mg label, sections 2 and 16.
Section 16: the implant comes “in a sealed, light- and moisture-proof, aluminum foil laminate pouch containing a desiccant capsule. Store at room temperature (do not exceed 25°C [77°F]).”

Zoladex 3.6 mg is a single-use syringe. Section 2 says it is given under the skin of the abdomen every 28 days, using aseptic technique under the supervision of a physician. The label has no patient leaflet. If you carry it to the clinic yourself, keep it in its sealed pouch, at or below 77°F (25°C).
This page covers the 3.6 mg implant only; Zoladex 10.8 mg has its own label. See Zoladex side effects, the Zoladex dosing schedule, Lupron Depot vs Zoladex and the goserelin page.
Zoladex is a room-temperature product, so it needs no ice pack. Keep it in its sealed pouch, at or below 77°F (25°C), and out of a hot car.
