Cagrilintide (AM833) is a modified amylin analog, developed for obesity management. By binding to both the amylin and calcitonin receptors, results in decreased food intake and significant weight reduction. Its mechanism Improves its effectiveness compared to traditional amylin treatments. In clinical trials, cagrilintide, alone or with semaglutide, has demonstrated notable weight loss benefits and It also offers promise for treating type 2 diabetes by improving blood glucose control and HbA1c levels.
