Cagrilintide

Cagrilintide is a peptide that is research only, not approved for human use in the US.

Also known as AM833, cagrilintide semaglutide, CagriSema

Cagrilintide copies amylin, a hormone involved in fullness and stomach emptying. Novo Nordisk is studying it alone and in CagriSema, but products sold online are not the clinical-trial product.

Empty glass test tubes with white caps neatly arranged in a rack, pale and clinical in tone.
