Cagrilintide acetate is a long-acting amylin analog designed to treat obesity by mimicking the effects of natural amylin and activating both amylin and calcitonin receptors. This dual mechanism reduces appetite and supports weight loss while also improving glucose regulation. Unlike earlier analogs, cagrilintide’s extended action allows it to suppress food intake for up to 72 hours post-injection. Clinical studies show it’s even more effective when combined with GLP-1 agonists like semaglutide, making it a strong candidate for addressing obesity and type 2 diabetes together.
