"Foundayo is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist in tablet form that should be taken orally once daily."

"Foundayo is approved for use in combination with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity to reduce excess body weight and maintain weight reduction long term in adults with obesity or adults with overweight in the presence of at least one weight-related comorbid condition."

Semaglutide is a prescription medication that has been FDA-approved for weight loss since 2021. It is designed for individuals who are overweight or obese and need assistance in losing weight. Semaglutide is known for its ability to mimic a hormone called GLP-1, which regulates appetite and food intake. This helps reduce hunger and increase feelings of fullness, making it easier to follow a low-calorie diet. Brand names for semaglutide include Wegovy and Ozempic.
