Cagrilintide dosage calculator
Cagrilintide is a long-acting amylin analog with a half-life close to semaglutide's, which is why the two are co-formulated in CagriSema. Expect a multi-week build to steady state.

How to reconstitute Cagrilintide
STEP 1
Add bacteriostatic water
Trickle 2mL of BAC water down the inside wall of the 5mg vial. That gives a 2.50 mg/mL solution.
STEP 2
Swirl, do not shake
Rotate gently until fully dissolved. Shaking shears the peptide.
STEP 3
Draw your 1200mcg dose
Pull to 48.0 IU (0.480 mL). One 5mg vial yields about 4 doses.
STEP 4
Refrigerate between uses
Store the reconstituted vial at 2-8°C and use within a few weeks.
Cagrilintide dosing questions
How do I reconstitute Cagrilintide?+
Add 2mL of bacteriostatic water to a 5mg Cagrilintide vial. That produces a 2.50 mg/mL (2500 mcg/mL) solution. For a 1200mcg dose you then draw 0.480 mL.
How many units of Cagrilintide do I draw for a 1200mcg dose?+
On a U-100 insulin syringe, draw to 48.0 units (0.480 mL). Adjust the inputs above if your vial or water volume differs.
How many Cagrilintide doses are in one vial?+
A 5mg vial dosed at 1200mcg gives about 4 doses.
What is Cagrilintide's half-life?+
Cagrilintide has a half-life of ~7 days. A typical protocol is 0.25mg weekly, titrated to 2.4mg. Cagrilintide is a long-acting amylin analog with a half-life close to semaglutide's, which is why the two are co-formulated in CagriSema. Expect a multi-week build to steady state.
How long until Cagrilintide reaches steady state?+
With a ~7 days half-life, Cagrilintide reaches steady state after roughly five half-lives. The steady-state read-out above shows the accumulation factor and mean level for the seeded weekly dose.
