How the numbers work for Cagrilintide
A 10 mg vial of Cagrilintide with 2 mL of bacteriostatic water is 10 / 2 = 5 mg/mL. A 0.6 mg dose is 0.6 / 5 = 0.12 mL, which is 12 units on a U-100 syringe, or the same number of clicks on a pen. With 3 mL of water instead, the concentration is 3.33 mg/mL and the same dose is 18 units. At that dose the vial holds 16 doses.
The formulas are the same for every compound: concentration is the vial amount divided by the water, the draw is the dose divided by the concentration, and a U-100 unit is 0.01 mL. They are written out on the methodology page.
Cagrilintide units at a glance
Syringe units for the amounts recorded for Cagrilintide, from a 10 mg vial, across the water volumes people most often use. These are recorded examples used for the arithmetic, not recommendations; a draw under 6 units is hard to measure repeatably and more water fixes that.

Where the amounts come from
The doses above are recorded amounts from the Cagrilintide entry in the compound library, which lists the sources behind them, labels each as clinical, preclinical or community-reported, and states what the evidence can and cannot support. The vial strength is the one most often listed by suppliers. Nothing on this page is medical advice.
Common questions about Cagrilintide
- Is Cagrilintide an FDA-approved medicine?
- Cagrilintide alone is not approved anywhere. Combined with semaglutide as CagriSema it was filed with the FDA in December 2025 and is under review. FDA states that cagrilintide cannot be used in compounding under federal law.
- How much bacteriostatic water do I add to a 10 mg vial of Cagrilintide?
- There is no single right amount: the water sets the concentration and the size of the draw, not the dose. This page opens on 2 mL, which makes 5 mg/mL and puts a 0.6 mg dose at 12 units on a U-100 syringe. With 1 mL the same dose is 6 units; with 3 mL it is 18 units. More water gives a larger, easier-to-read draw, as long as the vial can hold it.
- How many units is 0.6 mg of Cagrilintide?
- At 5 mg/mL (10 mg in 2 mL of water), 0.6 mg is 0.12 mL, which is 12 units on a U-100 insulin syringe or 12 clicks on a peptide pen. At any other concentration the number changes; the units table on this page gives the other common water volumes.
- How many doses are in a 10 mg vial of Cagrilintide?
- At 0.6 mg per dose, a 10 mg vial holds 16 doses. The water volume changes the size of each draw, not the number of doses in the vial.
- Where do the Cagrilintide amounts on this page come from?
- They are amounts recorded for Cagrilintide in the compound library (https://peptidescalculator.com/compound-library/cagrilintide), which lists the sources behind them and labels each as clinical, preclinical or community-reported. They are shown for the arithmetic, not as recommendations, and the vial strength is the one suppliers list most often. Nothing on this page is medical advice.
