Cagrilintide Semaglutide: What You Need To Know

If you’ve been researching new options for weight loss or managing type 2 diabetes, you might have come across something called cagrilintide semaglutide—also known as CagriSema.

This promising combination has caught a lot of attention in recent clinical studies for how well it may help with both blood sugar and weight management.

At Eternity Health Partners, we’re already helping patients achieve real results with semaglutide.

In this article, we’ll break down what cagrilintide semaglutide is, how it works, and how you can start benefiting from treatments that are already available.

 

SEE WHICH WEIGHT LOSS OPTION IS RIGHT FOR YOU

 

What Is Cagrilintide Semaglutide?

 

Cagrilintide semaglutide is a combination of two medications:

  • Semaglutide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist that lowers blood sugar and curbs appetite
  • Cagrilintide, an amylin analogue that helps you feel full longer by slowing down digestion

Together, this combination is called CagriSema.

Researchers are studying how it may help people lose more weight and manage their blood sugar better than semaglutide alone.

 

How Do They Work Together?

 

Semaglutide works by activating the GLP-1 receptor, which helps your body release insulin, slow digestion, and reduce hunger.

Cagrilintide mimics a hormone called amylin, which also helps slow down how quickly your stomach empties and makes you feel fuller faster.

When used together, they target multiple pathways that affect weight and metabolism.

That’s why studies show cagrilintide semaglutide may lead to greater weight loss and blood sugar control than either medication on its own.

 

Benefits of Cagrilintide Semaglutide

 

Here’s why this combination is getting so much attention:

  • More weight loss than semaglutide alone
  • Reduced appetite and increased feeling of fullness
  • Better control of blood sugar
  • Potentially lower doses needed, which may reduce side effects

It’s not just about the number on the scale—this combo could change how we treat type 2 diabetes and obesity going forward.

FAQs: Cagrilintide Semaglutide

 

What is the best injection for weight loss?
The best injection for weight loss depends on your health goals and how your body responds to treatment. Currently, semaglutide (found in Wegovy and Ozempic) and tirzepatide (found in Mounjaro and Zepbound) are two of the most effective FDA-approved options. Early research also shows that cagrilintide semaglutide—also known as CagriSema—may offer even greater results, though it’s still in clinical trials.

What are the benefits of semaglutide vs tirzepatide?
Both are highly effective for weight loss and blood sugar control. Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that helps reduce appetite and improve insulin sensitivity. Tirzepatide targets both the GLP-1 and GIP receptors, which may lead to slightly more weight loss and better glucose control for some people. The right choice depends on your individual needs, and both are great options to discuss with a provider.

What are the benefits of retatrutide vs semaglutide?
Retatrutide is a newer drug still in development that activates three different receptors—GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon—while semaglutide targets only GLP-1. In early trials, retatrutide led to even greater weight loss than semaglutide. However, semaglutide is currently available and proven to be safe and effective, while retatrutide is not yet FDA-approved.

What is peptide therapy?
Peptide therapy uses short chains of amino acids (peptides) to signal and support specific functions in the body—like improving metabolism, enhancing recovery, or boosting hormone levels. Treatments like semaglutide and tirzepatide fall into the peptide category because they mimic natural hormones that regulate appetite and blood sugar.

What is the difference between cagrilintide and semaglutide?
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that helps manage blood sugar and suppress appetite. Cagrilintide is an amylin analogue that slows digestion and enhances feelings of fullness. When used together, they may have a complementary effect, helping with both weight loss and glucose control more effectively than either drug alone.

What are the side effects of cagrilintide semaglutide?
The most common side effects reported in clinical trials are mild and include nausea, vomiting, constipation, and stomach discomfort. These side effects are similar to what’s seen with semaglutide alone and tend to decrease over time as the body adjusts to the medication.

How much weight can you lose in a month on semaglutide?
Weight loss with semaglutide varies, but many people lose 5 to 10 pounds in the first month, especially when combined with a healthy diet and regular activity. Results depend on dosage, starting weight, and how consistently the treatment is used. Some individuals may lose even more over time with continued use.

OUR CALIFORNIA LICENSED PHLEBOTOMISTS

Liz started doing personal blood draws after her son, Dashiell, was born with Zellwegers disease. His diagnosis required numerous blood draws and drug levels throughout his life. After sitting through long wait times at the labs followed by watching many different phlebotomists, many new to the job, struggle to find his veins, often poking him multiple times, as a seasoned phlebotomist, Liz decided to draw his blood at home and hand deliver it to the lab myself. Soon after she began doing personal touch blood draws so she can now offer that same personalized service to you.

Liz graduated from Pepperdine University with a degree in Biology in 1994. She moved to Santa Barbara and earned her phlebotomy certificate in 1995. Liz began working at St. Francis Medical Center in the Physical Therapy Department and quickly transferred to the Laboratory. Perfecting her venipuncture techniques on all floors of the hospital, including post-operative patients, pregnant women going into labor, sick or premature babies, and emergency room patrons, she then improved her patient care skills working for internal medicine doctors, one of whom was the Medical Director of Hospice and won Doctor of the Year. In 1999, Liz started working with a group of local retinal surgeons. Her primary job consisted of injecting dye into arm veins and photographing its flow through the patients retinal vessels. When patients are worried about their diagnosis or apprehensive about the procedure because of difficult veins, her quick, almost pain free needle stick and kind but professional bed side manner would put them at ease.

The various settings and patients Liz has encountered over the years have enabled her to become very skilled at finding the smallest and most fragile of vessels. Her specialities include infants and the elderly, diabetics of all ages, patients with rolling veins, on blood thinners or chemotherapy. She lives in downtown Santa Barbara, travels from Goleta to Carpintera and brings all the necessary supplies directly to you. All she needs from you is a lab request and your home or office becomes an instant draw station. Appointment times are very flexible, and she is friendly, reliable and punctual. Be kind to your arm and treat yourself to the luxury blood draw you deserve!!!

MEET MICHAEL BROOKINS; BS, CNMT, ABAAHP

Mike brings more than just a medical perspective to his clients; at the age of 14, he began an athletic career as a pole-vaulter that would end up taking him on an incredible journey over the next 13 years of his life. Throughout his athletic journey Mike was constantly working to find the ideal balance of fitness and proper nutrition in order to maximize his performances. Combined with his medical knowledge the years of athletic experience provide a unique and successful combination that serve to benefit his staff and clients.

“After I shifted the focus of my practice from Sports Medicine into Nuclear Medicine specifically Interventional Endocrinology. I found myself questioning our western medical paradigm…Here I was performing thyroid cancer and Hyperthyroidism treatments with harmful radical thyroid radioactive ablations which really made me take a hard look in the mirror and become more of a researcher to find safer and more effective options to better treat my clients. During my research I realized that there were very few, if any, medically directed programs focused towards achieving a “Healthier Lifestyle” rather than typical “Diet” fads.” A few years later after training and working with some of the worlds foremost Bio-identical Hormone Replacement specialists I became Board Certified in Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine. Sort of just found my passion and the answers I had been looking for with this new specialty finally after years of treating people with the Band-Aid “fix it when its broken” mentality instead of at the root cause.”

Mike has spent the last 10 years in Anti-Aging, Functional and Regenerative Medicine. He has trained over 120 physicians in Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine and consulting for their practices. Today his vision is a reality, and clients from all of the world come to benefit from the successful programs that have been established at Age Management Institute Santa Barbara. He firmly believes in educating the patient about the importance of good nutrition, hormone balance, stress management, and regular exercise is the key to aging well and having a high quality of life well into your golden years.
