Direct answer

Do not use it until you have checked with the program or pharmacy. Photograph the package, any cold packs and the label, note the time it arrived, refrigerate it, and contact the program the same day for instructions and a replacement. Brand Zepbound has label limits for time out of the fridge; a compounded vial’s limits are set by the pharmacy, so ask them.
