The FDA has approved Eli Lilly's once-daily GLP-1 pill, Foundayo, marking a significant step in weight-loss treatments. While less effective than Lilly's weekly injection Zepbound, Foundayo offers convenience and global scalability without cold-chain manufacturing constraints. It will be available soon via pharmacies and telehealth, with insured patients paying $25 monthly with a coupon. The approval positions Lilly to compete with Novo Nordisk's Wegovy pill, expanding the obesity treatment market with more accessible options. Lilly also anticipates approval in over 40 countries and is developing a more potent weight-loss shot, retatrutide, to broaden its obesity drug portfolio.
