What Is Foundayo™ (Orforglipron)?

Foundayo belongs to a class of medications called GLP-1 receptor agonists. These medications work by mimicking natural hormones involved in appetite and digestion.

Patients may notice:

  • Reduced hunger and cravings
  • Feeling full sooner during meals
  • Smaller portion sizes
  • Better appetite control throughout the day

Treatment is designed to work alongside nutrition changes and increased physical activity.


Average Weight Loss With Foundayo™

Clinical studies in adults without diabetes showed meaningful weight loss when Foundayo was combined with diet and exercise.

Study results included:

  • Approximately 25 lbs (~11%) average weight loss at the highest studied dose
  • Approximately 17 lbs (~7%) average weight loss at the lowest studied dose

Results vary depending on dosage, lifestyle, metabolism, adherence, and overall health.
