What is Cagrilintide?
Cagrilintide is a synthetic analogue of amylin, a hormone your pancreas releases alongside insulin after meals. Amylin helps regulate appetite, satiety, and post meal blood sugar control, and Cagrilintide is designed to mimic those same signals to improve hunger regulation and metabolic outcomes.
Mechanisms of Action
Cagrilintide works through amylin like signaling to influence both appetite and glucose handling:
Promotes satiety: Helps you feel full for longer, which naturally reduces calorie intake
Slows gastric emptying: Delays stomach emptying to prolong fullness after eating
Regulates appetite signaling: Dampens cravings and improves dietary adherence through central appetite pathways
Stabilizes blood sugar: Works alongside insulin to smooth post meal glucose swings
Complements GLP 1 therapy: Designed to pair well with GLP 1 receptor agonists (ex: semaglutide, liraglutide) for stronger metabolic effects and appetite suppression than either alone
Benefits
Sustainable fat loss support: Helps address hunger driven overeating, improving long term adherence
Improved glycemic control: Better post prandial blood sugar management and insulin sensitivity support
Appetite suppression: More stable hunger control across the day, fewer cravings
Synergy with GLP 1s: Co use with GLP-1s (ex: CagriReta style combinations) is associated with stronger weight loss and glycemic improvements
Dosing
Level | Daily | Weekly (approx) |
|---|---|---|
Low | 0.1 mg/day | ~1 mg/week |
Medium | 0.25 mg/day | ~2 mg/week |
High | 0.5–1 mg/day or more | ~3.5–7 mg/week or more |
Notes:
Dosing is often adjusted based on response and tolerability
Cagrilintide is commonly positioned as a combination add on alongside GLP 1 receptor agonists
