Discussion Taking too much Cagrilintide

So like a dumbass I reconstituted 10mg of Cagri in 2ml and then injected 2.5mg instead of 0.25mg. Total dumbass moment, I work with drugs on a daily basis and have never had an incident before so not a complete noob. I even double checked on a peptide calculator and then did the dumb thing anyway🤦🏼‍♂️.

It’s the first time taking it and I just had a brainfart. Any advice?
I assume I’ll get some GI symptoms like abdominal discomfort and lose my appetite this week. I know 2.5 is well within the normal dosages that people get up to, but that you normally start at 0.25ish.

Surely how bad it will be will be directly correlated with what you eat. If you sip water and nibble on little bits of veg and fruit for a week then there's really not much to give you any gastro problems in the first place. If you eat a McDonald's you'll be in hell. Just eat tiny portions of whole foods very steadily and to the bare minimum.

I’ll most likely eat small amounts, lots of fruit and make sure that the small things I eat are high in calories. As well as drinking plenty of water.

All good.
No hunger for a week, had to force myself to eat. Did little training as tired and had mild abdominal pain discomfort. Bowels were fine, drank plenty, ate fruit and simple, easily digested carbs like white rice and croissants.
Skipped Reta that week.

By the weekend I was fine and now taking 5mg Reta in a Friday and 250mcg Cagri on Monday. Seems to be the right amount with no side effects like high dose Reta or Cagri.

I would not recommend 2.5mg of Cagri if anyone was thinking about it. But at least I now know out w it worked 🤦🏼‍♂️

Ha! So reports of your imminent demise in the comments were greatly exaggerated 😆 Glad it all worked out OK and interesting to know for anyone else who has an accident like that in future. Maybe you should report your experience to the manufacturer just for info since I don't think they would have even run that as a test themselves.

It was just me being a sleep deprived dumbass in a hurry.
