Other Benefits

Improved Glycemic Control

Cagrilintide helps regulate blood sugar levels by slowing gastric emptying and reducing food intake, leading to better overall glucose management in patients with type 2 diabetes.

As an amylin receptor agonist, cagrilintide promotes feelings of fullness and reduces food intake, helping patients adhere to calorie-restricted diets.

Cardiovascular Health

Cagrilintide may help lower the risk of cardiovascular events by improving various risk factors, including body weight, blood pressure, and lipid levels.

Metabolic Function

The medication's effects on appetite regulation and energy balance may contribute to overall improvements in metabolic health.

Convenient Administration

The once-weekly injection schedule can improve treatment adherence and quality of life for patients.

Dosage

Cagrilintide is administered as a once-weekly subcutaneous injection. The optimal dosing strategy is still being determined through clinical trials.

It's important to note that these dosages are based on clinical trials and may be adjusted as more data becomes available. The final approved dosing regimen will be determined by regulatory authorities based on efficacy and safety data.

Dosage adjustments should always be made under the guidance of a healthcare professional, taking into account individual patient response and tolerability. As with other peptide therapies, a dose escalation strategy may be employed to minimize side effects and optimize efficacy.
