Foundayo works by mimicking a natural hormone called GLP-1, which is released after eating. It acts on appetite centres in the brain to reduce hunger and help you feel fuller for longer, so you naturally eat less. It also helps regulate blood sugar, which is why orforglipron is licensed both for weight management and for type 2 diabetes. Used alongside healthier eating and more activity, it supports gradual, sustained weight loss.

In its main clinical trial, people taking the highest dose of orforglipron lost around 11% of their body weight on average over 72 weeks, alongside diet and exercise. Results vary from person to person. As a tablet, Foundayo offers a needle-free option — though injectable GLP-1 medicines such as Mounjaro have generally shown greater average weight loss in trials, so the right treatment depends on your goals, preferences and medical history. A clinician can help you weigh up the options.

Foundayo is a once-daily tablet. It can be taken at any time of day, with or without food, and without restrictions on water or fasting. Your prescriber will usually start you on a low dose and increase it gradually over several weeks to reduce the chance of side effects. Always follow the dose your prescriber gives you and the instructions in the patient information leaflet.
