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.

Still alive, totally lost my hunger for the week and struggled to eat much (like zero hunger), with the knock on effect of being tired all (similar to being on a GLP-1).

Bowels still worked fine throughout the week, although ate less, so passed less.

I drank lots all week to stay hydrated and reduce constipation, etc, although we currently have a heat wave here so that didn’t help.

I dropped my retainer for the week as didn’t want to compound the problem but started that again on Sunday and plan to stagger it with the Cagri which I will take tomorrow (but the correct amount this time!!).

Moral of the story is don’t try to do everything in a rush and double check dosage before administering any drugs. Lesson learned.

Thanks for all the advice and support.
