01. WHAT IS CAGRILINTIDE
Cagrilintide is a synthetic amylin analog peptide designed to mimic the activity
of the naturally occurring hormone amylin. Amylin is co-secreted with insulin
by pancreatic beta cells and plays a key role in regulating appetite, gastric
emptying, and glucose metabolism. Cagrilintide has been engineered for
enhanced stability and a longer duration of action.
