Cagrilintide: dose range, storage & handling reference
Also known as: AM833, long-acting amylin analog
Quick answer
What is Cagrilintide?
An amylin analog that adds fullness signalling; often paired with a GLP-1 for stronger appetite control.
Cagrilintide at a glance
| Dose range referenced | Research literature commonly references escalating weekly amounts studied up to roughly ~4.5 mg/week in trials |
| Studied for | Metabolic and appetite-regulation research |
| Route referenced in research | Subcutaneous (research) |
| Half-life | ~7–8 days |
| Storage | Store lyophilized powder refrigerated (2–8°C) and protected from light; once reconstituted, keep refrigerated and use within the timeframe supported by stability data. |
The dose range above describes figures referenced in research literature. It is not a recommendation.
What Cagrilintide is stacked with in research
Frequently referenced alongside semaglutide as a combined amylin/GLP-1 research approach (sometimes described as CagriSema). Combining metabolic agents compounds gastrointestinal effects.
Side effects observed in research
- Nausea
- Reduced appetite
- Gastrointestinal upset
Reconstituting Cagrilintide
Concentration is vial contents divided by water added, whatever the compound: a 5 mg vial with 2 mL of bacteriostatic water gives 2.5 mg/mL. The step-by-step reconstitution guide works through the arithmetic, and the free calculator below returns exact syringe units.
This is a reference entry. An expanded profile — mechanism, cited literature, protocol tables and reconstitution math — is being added across the library.
