Common Questions
What is Foundayo (orforglipron)?+
Foundayo is the first FDA-approved oral GLP-1 medication for weight loss. It's a once-daily pill that works the same way as injectable GLP-1s like Wegovy and Ozempic — reducing appetite and slowing gastric emptying — but without needles, food restrictions, or water timing requirements. FDA approved April 2026 by Eli Lilly.
How is this different from Ozempic or Wegovy?+
Foundayo is a daily pill, not a weekly injection. It uses a different molecule (orforglipron vs semaglutide) but targets the same GLP-1 receptors. Unlike Novo Nordisk's oral semaglutide, Foundayo has zero food or water restrictions — take it any time of day with or without meals.
How much does it cost?+
Self-pay pricing ranges from $149/month (starting dose) to $349/month (maintenance doses) depending on your prescribed dose. With the Lilly savings card and commercial insurance, eligible patients may pay as little as $25/month. The savings card covers up to $1,000 per calendar year. Your pepta physician can help you navigate insurance and savings options.
Do I need insurance?+
No. Foundayo is available at self-pay pricing without insurance ($149–$349/month depending on dose). However, if you have commercial insurance that covers Foundayo, the Lilly savings card can reduce your cost to as low as $25/month. Medicare Part D patients may also qualify for $50/month starting July 2026.
Are there food or water restrictions?+
None. Unlike some other GLP-1 medications that require an empty stomach and a 30-minute wait before eating, Foundayo can be taken at any time of day with or without food or water.
Who qualifies?+
Foundayo is FDA-approved for adults with obesity (BMI 30+) or overweight (BMI 27+) with at least one weight-related medical condition such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol. Your physician will evaluate your full health profile.
Do you still offer compounded semaglutide?+
Yes. We continue to offer compounded semaglutide + B12 as a budget-friendly injectable alternative starting at $149/month. However, we recommend Foundayo as our primary GLP-1 option because it's FDA-approved, oral, and insurance-eligible.
