Foundayo Weight Loss Tablets in Glasgow

Foundayo is a prescription-only, once-daily weight loss tablet that contains orforglipron, a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist. Foundayo is an oral pill that is swallowed whole at any time of day that is convenient for you. It is made by Eli Lilly, the same manufacturer as Mounjaro.

Foundayo can be taken with or without food and does not require fasting before or after taking the tablet.

Foundayo’s active ingredient, orforglipron , works by binding to the GLP-1 receptors in the brain to mimic the effects of the naturally occurring hormone, GLP-1. So, Foundayo works to help you lose weight by:
- reducing your appetite
- slowing the time it takes for food to pass through the stomach
- regulating your blood sugar levels

These effects can reduce appetite and help you feel fuller for longer. Together, this makes it easier for you to stick to a diet and exercise plan, which you will need to do to get the full benefit of Foundayo.

Foundayo is taken alongside a reduced-calorie diet and exercise plan, and is suitable for adults aged 18 and older with a body mass index (BMI) of:
- 30 or more
- 27 to 30 with at least one weight-related health condition, such as prediabetes, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or obstructive sleep apnoea

Foundayo may not be suitable for everyone because certain health conditions or medications can interact with Foundayo and can make it less effective or potentially unsafe.

Do not take Foundayo if you are:

allergic to orforglipron or any other ingredients listed in the medication
pregnant or breastfeeding

Before taking Foundayo, let the doctor know if you:
- have or have ever had pancreatitis
- are using a sulfonylurea and/or insulin for diabetes
- have severe problems with food digestion or food staying in your stomach for longer than usual (severe gastroparesis)
- you have kidney problems because some Foundayo side effects, like feeling and being sick and diarrhoea, can cause dehydration
- are taking medication to manage high blood pressure
- have gallbladder problems
- have a problem with your eyes or vision
- are due to have surgery and require anaesthesia
- have or have had severe heart failure

Adults on the highest approved Foundayo dose lost around 11% of body weight on average over 72 weeks. The figure comes from the ATTAIN-1 clinical trial. 

In a 72-week study of adults without diabetes, average weight loss was:
2.1% (5.3 lbs) for placebo.
7.4% (17.2 lbs) for 5.5 mg
8.3% (18.9 lbs) for 9 mg
11.1% (24.9 lbs) for 17.2 mg

In a 72-week study of adults with type 2 diabetes, average weight loss was:
2.5% (5.9 lbs) for placebo
5.1% (11.7 lbs) for 5.5 mg
7% (15.9 lbs) for 9 mg
9.6% (21.2 lbs) for 17.2 mg

Individual results may vary / Along with diet and exercise.

Foundayo is a once daily pill. You can take your daily dose at any time of the day, whenever is most convenient for you, with or without food. You should swallow the tablet whole, with some water if needed, but do not break, crush, or chew the tablet or take more than 1 pill per day.

Because Foundayo does not require special coatings to protect it from stomach acid and enhance its absorption into the bloodstream, like some other GLP-1 pills, it does not have any fasting restrictions you must follow before taking it. This makes taking Foundayo easier and more flexible for some people.

Foundayo pills are available in 6 dosages. You’ll begin with 0.8 mg once daily. After at least 30 days, your doctor may increase the dose depending on how you respond to treatment and how well you tolerate it.

The available Foundayo doses are:

Month 1 (starting dose) – 0.8mg
Month 2 – 2.5mg
Month 3 – 5.5mg
Month 4 – 9mg
Month 5 – 14.5mg
Month 6 (maximum dose) – 17.2mg

You may not need to take the maximum Foundayo dose. Your doctor will monitor how your body responds to orforglipron, whether you get any side effects, and consider your weight loss goals to help you find the lowest effective dose.
