My oral semaglutide vial sat at minus 20 °C for fourteen days — is testing worth it before use?

For reference: oral semaglutide · minus 20 °C · fourteen days.

I am at the decision point and I would rather think it through than improvise.

I would rather spend money on measurement than on redundancy.

What does a sensible plan look like, and what are the decision points?
