@spanky2026 .... ours were from different vendors. Mine from pgb so i paid premium for a tested/ recent batch. The itchiness and welts at injection site can be ph related or minor allergic reaction. I read alot of folks also add acetic acid to play with the ph. I never had an issue with 8 other peps, any meds, foods or insects bites so i just pinned it without consideration....bamagirl26 said:
Mine wasn't an injection site allergy, it was systemic. I've never had an injection site reaction of any kind. And to Bamagirls question, mine was JKL, OP was PGB, so different vendors. Possibly same source? But who knows.Airborne Daddy said:
It is curious that your starting dose was much higher than many and aside from the allergic reaction you had no other results.Airborne Daddy said:
I'd call that a "not good" sign.miameow said:

Idk, i swear i got that PAM gene that lets you lose 3 or 4% body weight and thats it.... also i ran thyroid panels showing low t4, with free t4 almost low, so that has much ado with metabolism...Skidude said:
I spent way too much time researching allergic reactions to GLP's when I had weird rash that might have been due to a drug allergy a year or 2 ago. In general the opinion is cross reactions to GLP agonists are rare, despite the fact that they are going to share a lot of the same sequences as well. Does not prove that cross reactions to amylin agonists are equally uncommon, but is suggestive. There is at least one person on this forum who developed allergic responses to all three GLP drugs they tried so it is possible. Probably worth getting an epipen and having it on hand before trying elora just in case.Enyola said:
I still suggest if anything like that ever happens again the only safe response is to call an ambulance. Trying to get yourself there in that state by driving is very unsafe. If there is someone there who could drive you maybe not quite as risky, but not what I would call safe. Being ready or only a few blocks away won't help if things suddenly go sideways and all of a sudden you really cannot breathe, if that happened you are just not going to have the time to spare or the ability to do much, let alone get to a hospital or maybe even calling the ambulance might be impossible. The odds of that happening are maybe only a few percent in that situation, but even a few percent is a pretty high risk to take, when there is an unknowable risk of things deteriorating rapidly to the point where you cannot do anything to get help, and dying becomes a genuine possibility. I guarantee an ER would rather you played it safe rather than sorry even if all they did when you got there was watch you to make sure nothing happened.Airborne Daddy said:
I watched a video tonight that said the starting dose should be .75 to 4mg. The comments under the video must have mostly been people from here with the .25mg starting dose. I haven't experienced any negative issues from GLPs and may have also started at your dose.Airborne Daddy said:
I’m really sorry you went through that. That must have been TERRIFYING.Airborne Daddy said:
Youll be fine.... i won the 1 in 10,000 reaction which should increase your odds to not be the next. But yeah, any new peptide gets the skin prick with a tenth of recommended starting dosage.Mara_aa said:I’m really sorry you went through that. That must have been TERRIFYING.
As everyone is already telling you, the combination of widespread itching, swelling, lip numbness, rapid heart rate, and difficulty breathing sounds much more like a possible allergic or hypersensitivity reaction than a typical side effect of cagrilintide.
There’s no way to know from a single event whether it was the peptide itself, an excipient, the bacteriostatic water, or something else, so I wouldn’t automatically assume you’ll react the same way to every amylin receptor agonist.
Given the swelling and breathing difficulty, I would be very cautious about trying it again without first speaking with a physician or allergist.
I’m really glad you’re okay now
And honestly, reading your experience genuinely scared me. I have a Cagri kit myself, and after reading what happened to you, I seriously doubt I’ll have the courage to try it
That is very high dose. Should have start at 1mg firstAirborne Daddy said:
I took less than a mg.... .75 is less than 1blackkaiser said:
Did you see a doctor for an allergy test ? Please do not ignore those symptoms as it could be fatal. Your doctor will prescribe you an epi pen if you have an allergy to the ingredient. Maybe try a different amyl pep?Airborne Daddy said:
