How to reconstitute Cagrilintide

TR8CE uses one simple standard: 0.1 mL of bacteriostatic water per mg. A 5 mg vial takes 0.5 mL of water for a clean 10 mg/mL solution. Larger vials scale the water up to fit the glass.

Vial sizeBAC waterConcentration0.25 mg draws to

Units are shown for a U-100 insulin syringe. A common starting dose is 0.25 mg. At 10 mg/mL, that draws to 2.5 units on a U-100 insulin syringe.

How Cagrilintide works

Acts as a dual amylin and calcitonin receptor agonist in hypothalamic feeding centers. This suppresses appetite and slows gastric emptying.

Reported side effects

When is Cagrilintide taken?
