The Food and Drug Administration on Wednesday approved Eli Lilly's pill version of a GLP-1 medication for weight loss.

Lilly says Foundayo was approved to treat obesity and can lead to long-term weight loss, alongside diet and exercise.

The FDA approval of Eli Lilly's GLP-1 pill Foundayo comes nearly three months after Novo Nordisk's oral version of Wegovy hit the market.

New drug Foundayo sets up battle with Novo Nordisk for oral obesity drugs

The Food and Drug Administration on Wednesday approved Eli Lilly's pill version of a GLP-1 medication for weight loss.

Eli Lilly's new weight-loss pill, sold under the name Foundayo, gives consumers a second option for a non-injectable GLP-1.

Eli Lilly’s once-daily Foundayo is the second obesity pill to receive FDA approval. It will compete with Novo Nordisk’s pill version of Wegovy.

Dopo aver eseguito alcuni test, Eli Lilly ha detto che Foundayo permette di perdere circa il 12-15 per cento del peso corporeo: è meno di quanto permetta la versione iniettabile…

Novo and Eli Lilly are both trying to shape the narrative of their rival pills, considered to be the start of the next phase of the weight-loss drug era.

Prodotto dalla casa farmaceutica Eli Lilly, la compressa fa parte dei medicinali anti-obesità Glp-1, la stessa categoria di Ozempic e Wegovy
