Educational summary. See Sources & research below for the underlying studies.
What it is
Cagrilintide is a long-acting amylin analog that makes you feel full, often paired with semaglutide.
Best for: appetite control, especially stacked with a GLP-1
Pairing: the CagriSema combo with semaglutide
Status: investigational, sold for research
How it works
It mimics amylin, a hormone that signals fullness.
Tells the brain you are satisfied sooner
Slows stomach emptying so meals last longer
Complements GLP-1s rather than copying them
Dosing and mixing
Reference tiers only. Track the dose you are already taking.
Low
0.3 mg, once weekly
FOR Easing in, the first few weeks
BENEFIT Often picked as a lower-exposure tier to assess fullness and nausea
Standard
1 to 1.7 mg, once weekly
FOR Steady appetite control for most
BENEFIT Commonly picked by people interested in reported satiety alongside a GLP-1
High
2.4 mg, once weekly
FOR Max range after titration
BENEFIT People report the strongest appetite effect here, with more nausea
Schedule: One injection per week, same day. Rotate sites.
Beginner ramp: Step up every 4 weeks as tolerated.
Mixing (reconstitution)
BAC water is bacteriostatic water, the sterile water you mix in.
A 5 mg vial with 2 mL BAC water is a common starting point.

How to take it
Inject under the skin once a week.
Same day each week, rotate the spot
Refrigerate the mixed vial between doses
What to expect
Weeks 1 to 2
Meals feel more filling. Mild nausea as you adjust.
Weeks 3 to 6
Smaller portions feel natural and appetite is quieter.
Months 2 to 4
Steady support, strongest when stacked with a GLP-1.
Plateaus
Normal, a careful dose increase can help.
Keep in mind
Most data is from the CagriSema pairing, not solo use.
Side effects
Commonly reported
Nausea, especially early
Reduced appetite
Constipation
See a clinician if
Severe or non-stop vomiting
Severe abdominal pain
Storage
Keep it cold, before and after mixing.
Powder: refrigerate
After mixing: fridge, use within about 4 weeks
Do not freeze, keep out of light
Common stacks
Cagrilintide + Semaglutide: a common pairing for people interested in CagriSema research
Cagrilintide + BPC-157: people pair these when GI comfort is a concern during a dose ramp
Sources & research
Cagrilintide plus semaglutide showed strong weight loss in studies.
