Peripheral effects Via the AMY2 and AMY3 receptors Cagrilintide acts peripherally: Slowing of gastric emptying , stronger than with GLP-1 Suppression of postprandial glucagon , helps control postprandial glycemic spikes Modulation of bone remodeling (via AMY3), a neutral effect, but clinically monitored Synergy with GLP-1 (the mechanistic basis of CagriSema) The main innovation is the complementarity with the GLP-1 pathway : GLP-1 suppresses appetite via the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus (POMC neurons, AgRP/NPY inhibition) Amylin suppresses appetite via the area postrema (CGRP-like neurons) Two independent centers, two independent mechanisms
Always have an amazing experience at synergy
There are rare reports of trouble swallowing, breathing, or neck weakness, and these could relate to faulty technique or excess dosing
