Foundayo 9mg film-coated tablets contain orforglipron, an oral glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist. It is a prescription-only medicine authorised in the UK for weight management in eligible adults and to improve glycaemic control in adults with insufficiently controlled type 2 diabetes.

Orforglipron activates GLP-1 receptors involved in appetite regulation and glucose metabolism. For weight management, it is used alongside a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity.

The 9mg strength is one of several available strengths and may be prescribed following gradual dose escalation, according to the patient's response, tolerability and clinical circumstances.

Why Choose

Foundayo provides an oral treatment option for eligible adults requiring medical management of weight or type 2 diabetes. Its active ingredient, orforglipron, acts on GLP-1 receptors involved in appetite regulation and glucose metabolism.

The 9mg strength can form part of an individually prescribed treatment plan following gradual dose escalation. The appropriate dose depends on treatment response, tolerability, other medicines and relevant clinical considerations.

Common Uses

Weight management: Used alongside a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity in eligible adults with an initial BMI of 30kg/m² or above, or a BMI of 27kg/m² to below 30kg/m² with at least one weight-related health condition.

Type 2 diabetes: Used alongside diet and exercise to improve blood glucose control in adults with insufficiently controlled type 2 diabetes. It may be prescribed alone or alongside other diabetes medicines, according to the authorised indication and individual clinical circumstances.

How It Works

Foundayo contains orforglipron, a non-peptide GLP-1 receptor agonist. It activates GLP-1 receptors involved in appetite regulation and glucose metabolism.

Its effects include reducing food intake, supporting weight reduction and improving blood glucose control. It also delays gastric emptying, with this effect generally diminishing over time.

Foundayo should be used only as prescribed and alongside the lifestyle measures recommended by the treating healthcare professional.
