How CagriSema works

A fixed combination of an amylin analog and a GLP-1 agonist. The rationale is that the two act on separate satiety pathways, so the combination is studied for an effect neither reaches alone.

CagriSema dosing schedule

The REDEFINE programme escalates both components in parallel to 2.4 mg each. Because both sit in one vial at a fixed ratio, a single draw delivers both — the stack calculator handles that split.

Study length: 68 weeks in REDEFINE 1.

Reconstitution and measurement

This part is arithmetic and does not depend on the evidence level. Concentration is vial size divided by the bacteriostatic water you add. Draw volume is your target amount divided by that concentration. Units are draw volume times 100, because a U-100 syringe reads 100 units per millilitre.

Storage and stability

Dry powder
Cold, dark and dry. Lyophilized peptide is the stable form — keep it that way until you intend to use it.
After reconstitution
Refrigerate at 2–8 °C, protect from light, and plan around a limited window. Do not freeze a reconstituted vial — freeze-thaw damages peptides.
Mixing
Run bacteriostatic water down the inside wall of the vial rather than onto the powder, then swirl. Never shake.
Inspect before use
A clear solution is expected. Cloudiness or particles mean discard, not use.

Reported effects

  • Gastrointestinal effects consistent with both parent compounds.
  • Still investigational — no approved label and no long-term safety record.

Sourcing CagriSema

Our featured supplier does not stock this compound, and we are not going to point you at a vendor we have not looked at. Use the COA checklist on whoever you do buy from, and check the batch number on the certificate against the vial you receive.
