Calculators / Cagrilintide dose charts
Cagrilintide dose charts (mg → U-100 units)
Units to draw on a standard U-100 insulin syringe, for each common Cagrilintide vial size and BAC-water volume. Doses shown reflect ranges reported in published research — they are reference points for the math, not recommendations. For other numbers, use the live calculator.

Formula: units = dose ÷ concentration × 100 · concentration = vial mg ÷ water mL · Cagrilintide half-life ≈ 7–8 days (Cagrilintide review (Cardiology in Review 2023, PMID 36883831); half-life ≈ 7–8 days)
