wherein the aqueous semaglutide formulation comprises:

semaglutide;

phosphate, in a concentration of more than 15 mM and less than or equal to 45 mM;

90-99% w/w water; and

a pH of 7.0-8.0, and

wherein the cagrilintide formulation comprises:

cagrilintide;

a buffer which is: glutamic acid/glutamate, in a concentration of about 2-10 mM; or lactic acid/lactate, in a concentration of about 2-35 mM; or acetic acid/acetate, in a concentration of about 2-10 mM;
