Transitioning from weight loss to maintenance Determining goal weight achievement: Lost 10-12% body weight (cagrilintide alone) Lost 15-25% body weight (CagriSema) Weight stable for 4-8 weeks Satisfied with current weight Ready to focus on maintenance Maintenance dose options comparison: Option 1: Continue same dose Keep cagrilintide at 2.4mg weekly Ensures no regain Most conservative approach Highest cost Option 2: Reduce dose slightly Decrease to 1.8-2.0mg weekly Monitor weight for 4 weeks If stable, maintain If gaining, increase back 20-25% cost savings Option 3: Try every 10 days Instead of weekly, inject every 10 days Effectively 30% dose reduction Some maintain weight this way Requires close monitoring Recommendation: Try Option 2 first (reduce to 1.8-2.0mg)

This experience, often described as a reduction in food noise with GLP-1 therapy, reflects measurable neuroendocrine shifts in appetite regulation and reward signaling
The Core Peptide Math: Three Variables Every reconstitution calculation involves three variables: Peptide mass in the vial (total mg e.g., 10mg BPC-157, 50mg GHK-Cu) Bacteriostatic water volume added (total mL e.g., 2mL, 3mL, 5mL) Syringe increment (the unit mark on an insulin syringe usually 100 units = 1 mL) Once you know any two, the third and all the derivative values (concentration, units per research dose, doses per vial) follows automatically
