Cagrilintide
Every GLP-1 the FDA has approved, and the active ingredient inside each one.
What is Cagrilintide?
Novo Nordisk's long-acting amylin analog.
It works on a different receptor pathway from GLP-1, signaling satiety through the brainstem. In REDEFINE 1 it produced 11.5% weight loss over 68 weeks on its own, and it is the second half of CagriSema.
