It is combined with arginine to improve oral bioavailability and resist breakdown by stomach acid
High doses might increase estrogen levels, but not to a degree that would impact birth control effectiveness

it was abandoned, almost certainly because no sponsor was willing to underwrite the next phase
For both of these variables, the combined treatment of semaglutide and cagrilintide were shown to be more effective than either peptide treatment alone
