TL;DR
Cagrilintide is a long-acting amylin analogue often paired with GLP-1 receptor agonists in obesity research. Reconstitute with BAC water, swirl, and dose weekly subcutaneously per the trial-defined titration. Total prep time: ~5 minutes.
What you'll need (materials)
- Vial of cagrilintide 10 mg from Noki Labs
- Bacteriostatic water (0.9% benzyl alcohol)
- Insulin syringes — 31G, 0.5 mL (U-100)
- Alcohol swabs (70% isopropyl)
- Sharps container
Total time required
Reconstitution: ~5 minutes. Each weekly injection: ~2 minutes.
Step-by-step protocol
- Step 1 — Warm the vial. Let the cagrilintide vial sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes after taking it out of the fridge.
- Step 2 — Sanitise both stoppers. Wipe with alcohol swabs and let air-dry.
- Step 3 — Calculate BAC water volume. A typical ratio is 2 mL BAC water per 10 mg vial — 5 mg per 1 mL, so 0.24 mL = 1.2 mg. Confirm with your clinician.
- Step 4 — Draw BAC water. Pull the volume into the syringe; tap out bubbles.
- Step 5 — Inject BAC water against the vial wall. Tilt 45°; never aim at the powder pellet.
- Step 6 — Swirl gently. Roll the vial in your palm until the solution clears.
- Step 7 — Draw your dose. Re-sanitise, invert, draw, tap, recheck.
- Step 8 — Inject subcutaneously and log. Pinch a fresh abdominal or thigh site, inject at 90°, dispose, and record dose, site, and time.
Typical reference dosing range
Published phase-2 work titrated weekly subcutaneous cagrilintide from 0.3 mg upward to 2.4 mg over 16+ weeks. The CagriSema trials co-administered 2.4 mg cagrilintide with 2.4 mg semaglutide. Always consult a licensed Philippine medical professional before any human application — see the cagrilintide Philippines pillar for trial details.
Storage after reconstitution
Refrigerate at 2–8 °C, upright, away from light. Use within 28 days. Never freeze. Read our cold-chain peptide handling guide for transport tips.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Skipping the slow titration — GI side-effects climb fast at high starts.
- Shaking the vial — swirl only.
- Using cold solution straight from the fridge.
- Forgetting to log dose, site, and date.
FAQ
Q: Can cagrilintide be stacked with tirzepatide? Some reference protocols pair amylin analogues with GLP-1 RAs (e.g., CagriSema). Always run combinations past your clinician.
Q: Why titrate so slowly? Amylin analogues commonly cause early nausea — slow uptitration improves tolerability.
Q: How do I rotate sites? Alternate abdominal quadrants and outer thighs week to week to reduce lipohypertrophy.
Q: What syringe size suits 0.24 mL doses? A 0.5 mL U-100 insulin syringe with half-unit markings reads small volumes accurately.
