FAQ
How it works
Overview
Foundayo is the brand name for orforglipron, a once-daily oral GLP-1 receptor agonist developed by Eli Lilly, licensed for use in the same way as other weight management medicines.
It belongs to the same family of weight loss medications as Wegovy (semaglutide) and Mounjaro (tirzepatide), but it is taken as a tablet rather than an injection.
Frequently Asked Questions
Have a question? We're here to help
Who makes Foundayo?
Foundayo is the brand name for orforglipron, a once-daily oral GLP-1 receptor agonist developed by Eli Lilly. The active ingredient was originally discovered by Chugai Pharmaceutical, a Japanese research company, before being developed further by Lilly through large-scale international clinical trials.
How does Foundayo compare to Wegovy?
Both Foundayo and the Wegovy tablet (oral semaglutide) are taken as daily pills, but they work slightly differently. Foundayo comes from Eli Lilly, while the Wegovy tablet is made by Novo Nordisk.
How long do Foundayo side effects last?
Side effects of Foundayo, such as nausea, diarrhoea, or constipation, are usually mild to moderate and most common when starting treatment or increasing the dose. They tend to settle within a few days to a couple of weeks as the body adjusts. Your prescriber may recommend a slower dose increase if side effects persist.
Is Foundayo the same as the "Mounjaro pill"?
No. While orforglipron is sometimes nicknamed the “Mounjaro pill” because it’s made by the same manufacturer, Foundayo works differently. Mounjaro targets two hormone receptors (GIP and GLP-1), while Foundayo targets only the GLP-1 receptor. Both are designed to support weight loss, but their mechanisms and dosing structures differ.
How it works
Foundayo works by mimicking a natural hormone called GLP-1, which your body releases after eating. It acts on areas of the brain involved in appetite control, in addition to affecting the digestive system.
This helps reduce hunger, slow digestion, and support a feeling of fullness after meals, which can lead to reduced calorie intake and gradual weight loss over time when combined with a healthy lifestyle.
