This page helps you understand what to track for Pemvidutide. It is not medical advice, a prescription, or a recommendation to use this peptide. Discuss dose, route, timing, storage, and safety with a qualified healthcare professional.
Overview
Pemvidutide is a synthetic GLP-1/glucagon dual receptor agonist developed by Altimmune. It is unique in actively pursuing both obesity (MOMENTUM Phase 2) and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH; IMPACT Phase 2) as primary indications. The glucagon arm is intended to drive direct hepatic fat reduction, addressing the liver-disease component that semaglutide and tirzepatide partially miss.
Also known as: ALT-801.
Mechanism and timing snapshot
Dual agonist of GLP-1 and glucagon receptors with balanced potency. Glucagon arm drives hepatic lipolysis specifically — designed to reduce intrahepatic triglyceride.
Tracking defaults
These values come from Peppi's catalog so records can be prefilled consistently. They should be reviewed against your clinician's instructions before logging real-world use.
Catalog protocol note
Trial dosing: 1.2 mg or 2.4 mg weekly. Slower titration than semaglutide reported for tolerability.

Safety notes
Common and rare side effects listed in the catalog
- Nausea (~25%)
- GI symptoms
- Decreased appetite
- Injection-site reactions
- Pancreatitis
- Mild heart rate elevation
Contraindications and warnings
- Personal/family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma
- MEN 2 syndrome
- Pregnancy
- Investigational — not yet FDA-approved.
Other considerations
- Differentiator vs semaglutide is the glucagon-driven hepatic fat reduction.
- MASH-focused indication is a real potential unmet-need market.
- Available only via compounding pharmacies until approval.
Evidence and regulatory context
Stacking and cycle notes
Tracking tips
- Earlier in development than survodutide — Phase 2 vs Phase 3.
- Compelling if liver fat is part of your concern alongside body weight.
- Compounded supply quality varies; verify your source.
