Is Semaglutide with cagrilintide legal in the United Kingdom?

A blend whose mix has actually been tested, in a very large study. Cagrilintide given with semaglutide cut weight by 20.4% on average at week 68, against 3.0% on a dummy shot, in 3,417 people. What research sellers sell under this name is not that product, at that mix, from that supply. And in the study, 79.6% of people on the pair had stomach side effects.

This page has two jobs, and keeping them apart is the whole point. First job: the pairing is real and it works.

How it works: Semaglutide copies the gut hormone GLP-1. Cagrilintide is a long-acting copy of amylin, a fullness hormone, and works on fullness through the back of the brain.

Approval history: The drug company's combined product has been through final-stage studies and has been filed with regulators. A research chemical blend sold under the same description is not that product, and it is not approved.

Licenses medicines for sale in the UK. A compound without a licence to be sold (a marketing authorisation) is an unlicensed medicine. The law only lets it reach people through a prescriber, under the specials scheme (unlicensed medicines made for one patient's needs). It cannot be sold as a research product.

The legal category above is how The Longevity Archive reads Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency listings for Semaglutide with cagrilintide on the reviewed date. It is not a legal opinion. Rules change. Bringing a compound into the country, prescribing it and owning it can each be treated differently. Check with the agency before you act on anything here.

Whether Semaglutide with cagrilintide is banned in sport is set by the World Anti-Doping Code and by military rules, not by its legal status in the United Kingdom. Before you compete or get tested, look up Semaglutide with cagrilintide by name on the Prohibited List, or look up a named product in Global DRO. Under the World Anti-Doping Code, category S0 bans, at all times, any drug-like substance that meets two tests. No other section of the List covers it. And no government health regulator anywhere has a current approval for it as a treatment in people. Many substances that are approved somewhere are banned by name in another section. So approval does not mean a substance is allowed in sport.
