In short: Foundayo (orforglipron) is a once-daily GLP-1 tablet in six strengths from 0.8 mg to 17.2 mg, with no food or water restrictions. At Able Clinic the plan starts at £79 a month, and the price rises with dose. Average weight loss was about 12% at 72 weeks in the ATTAIN-1 trial.
How Foundayo works
Orforglipron is a small-molecule GLP-1 receptor agonist. Semaglutide and tirzepatide are peptides, fragile proteins needing injection or careful formulation. Orforglipron is built like a conventional drug, so the tablet survives digestion.
The chemistry brings convenience: no fridge, no fasting window and no 30-minute wait before breakfast.
In ATTAIN-1, the largest obesity trial of orforglipron, the highest dose produced an average loss of about 12% of body weight over 72 weeks, alongside diet and activity support. The figure trails Mounjaro and sits ahead of older daily treatments.
Foundayo doses and prices
Treatment begins at 0.8 mg daily. Each step up comes after at least 30 days where tolerated, through 2.5 mg, 5.5 mg, 9 mg and 14.5 mg to a maximum of 17.2 mg. Many people settle where appetite control and comfort balance.
