There’s exciting news for people exploring prescription weight management options. Foundayo™ (Orforglipron) is a newly FDA-approved oral GLP-1 medication that offers something many patients have been waiting for, a once-daily tablet instead of an injection.
Foundayo is approved for chronic weight management in adults with obesity, as well as adults who are overweight and have at least one weight-related medical condition. It is intended to be used alongside a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity to help patients lose weight and maintain that weight loss over time.
Like other GLP-1 receptor agonists, Foundayo works by helping regulate appetite. It can help you feel fuller longer, reduce hunger, and decrease cravings, making it easier to stick with healthy lifestyle changes. Because Foundayo is taken by mouth once daily, it may be an appealing option for patients who prefer not to use injectable medications.
If you’ve been interested in GLP-1 therapy but have been hesitant about injections, Foundayo may be worth discussing with your healthcare provider. As with any prescription medication, your healthcare provider can help determine whether it’s appropriate based on your medical history, current medications, and treatment goals.
