Cagrilintide · How it is taken
Going up and down
Step up every 4 weeks only when the current dose feels easy. If fullness or nausea is strong, hold the same dose another 4 weeks. The dose can go as high as 4.5 mg a week for people who need more. Once the goal is reached, come down a step at a time to the lowest dose that holds it.
