Cagrilintide vs semaglutide (Wegovy/Ozempic) Mechanism: Cagrilintide: Amylin receptor agonist Semaglutide: GLP-1 receptor agonist Different pathways Weight loss: Cagrilintide alone: 10-12% Semaglutide alone: 10-15% Similar efficacy monotherapy Gastric emptying: Cagrilintide: Very strong delay Semaglutide: Moderate delay Cagrilintide more powerful Side effects: Cagrilintide: More GI effects (stronger gastric slowing) Semaglutide: Moderate GI effects Cagrilintide harder to tolerate for some Availability: Cagrilintide: Investigational (not approved) Semaglutide: FDA approved, widely available Semaglutide easier to obtain currently Combination potential: Synergistic together (CagriSema) 15-25% weight loss combined Best of both mechanisms Verdict: Similar monotherapy efficacy, but combine for maximum results
The patients took TE or a placebo by mouth once a day for 14 weeks, without any specific weight loss program
