What is CagriSema (Cagrilintide + Semaglutide)?
Fixed blend of cagrilintide (amylin) and semaglutide (GLP-1).
How CagriSema (Cagrilintide + Semaglutide) works
Combines cagrilintide (amylin analog) with semaglutide (GLP-1) — layers amylin satiety on top of GLP-1 appetite suppression for additive effect.
Benefits & uses
- Greater weight loss than either component alone (~20% at 68 wks)
- Dual appetite pathways (amylin + GLP-1)
- Blood-sugar improvement
Common uses: Significant fat loss / obesity, type 2 diabetes.
Blend composition
Mix the 10 mg blend (5 mg + 5 mg) with 2 mL bac water → 2.5 mg each per mL.

- Semaglutideper titration
CagriSema (Cagrilintide + Semaglutide) dosage
- Typical dose
- Blend, dosed by volume — titrate both components together up toward 2.4 mg each/week. Once weekly.

CagriSema (Cagrilintide + Semaglutide) side effects
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Constipation
- Injection-site reactions (GI events are the most common, consistent with both drug classes)
Warnings & monitoring
- Titrate slowly — combined GI burden of two appetite drugs
- Class GLP-1 risks: pancreatitis, gallbladder, gastroparesis
- Thyroid C-cell class caution (semaglutide component)
- Not for pregnancy
Preparation & storage
- Reconstitution
- Reconstitute the blend vial (e.g. 10 mg total, 5+5) with 2 mL BAC water and dose by VOLUME to hit the target of each component. Do not compute a single per-unit figure.
