Cangrilintial + Semaglutide 10mg vial
US$49.99
1. Components
- Semaglutide: A GLP-1 receptor agonist, it works by mimicking the action of a naturally occurring hormone (GLP-1), leading to improved blood sugar control and a reduction in appetite.
- Cagrilintide: An amylin analog (synthetic version of the hormone amylin), it helps with satiety (feeling of fullness), slows gastric emptying (how fast food leaves the stomach), and further reduces food intake.
2. Mechanism of action
- This combination leverages the distinct, yet complementary, actions of both drugs to achieve a more potent effect on weight loss and blood sugar management.
- Cagrilintide affects different hormonal pathways than semaglutide, potentially leading to greater reductions in appetite and weight compared to either drug alone.
3. Potential benefits
- Significantly greater weight loss compared to semaglutide alone, according to News-Medical and the New England Journal of Medicine.
- Improved glycemic control (better blood sugar management), according to Pharmacy Times.
