Overview
Cagrilintide is a long-acting amylin analog that slows gastric emptying and cuts appetite. It’s often paired with a GLP-1 like semaglutide (the “CagriSema” combination) but works as a standalone weekly research peptide too.
Preparation
Recon: 5 mg vial + 3 mL BAC (1.67 mg/mL).
Protocol
| Period | Dose | Units (@ 1.67 mg/mL) | Frequency |
|---|---|---|---|
| Weeks 1–2 | 0.6 mg | 36 units (0.36 mL) | 1x/week |
| Weeks 3–4 | 1.2 mg | 72 units (0.72 mL) | 1x/week |
| Weeks 5–6 | 2.4 mg | 144 units (1.44 mL) | 1x/week |
| Weeks 7–16 | 4.5 mg | 270 units (2.70 mL) | 1x/week |
Cycle
16-week titration, same day each week. Doses above ~100 units need a 3 mL syringe with a 25–27G needle rather than a 1 mL insulin syringe.
