Foundayo vs. Wegovy: how they differ

Foundayo vs. Wegovy—what actually makes these GLP-1 weight loss pills different?

Foundayo contains orforglipron, while Wegovy tablets contain semaglutide. Both target the GLP-1 receptor, but they are different medications with some important practical differences.

• Foundayo = orforglipron
• Wegovy tablet = semaglutide
• Foundayo can be taken with or without food
• Different administration requirements
• Different dosing and dose-escalation schedules
• Different drug molecules

One of Foundayo's biggest practical differences is its dosing flexibility. Current prescribing information says Foundayo can be taken once daily with or without food.

So even though they're both oral GLP-1 medications, don't assume they're interchangeable or taken the same way.
