Foundayo is the brand name for orforglipron, a once-daily weight loss tablet now available at Didsbury Weight Loss Clinic in South Manchester. It offers the appetite-regulating benefits of modern weight management medication in a simple daily tablet, with no injections and no special food or water timing rules.
This guide covers what Foundayo is, how it works, what it costs at our Didsbury clinic, and answers to the questions patients ask us most often.
How Foundayo works
- Foundayo contains orforglipron, a once-daily oral tablet that works on the same appetite-regulating pathway as injectable weight loss treatments.
- It helps you feel fuller for longer and reduces hunger, making it easier to eat less and lose weight alongside diet and activity changes.
- Because it is a tablet, there are no needles and no special food or water timing rules. It can be taken at any time of day. Follow your prescriber's instructions.
- The dose is increased gradually over several months, which helps your body adjust and keeps side effects mild for most people.

Frequently asked questions
How much does Foundayo cost in the UK?
At Didsbury Weight Loss Clinic, Foundayo starts at £99 per month for the 0.8mg starter dose, rising to £189 per month at the 17.2mg maintenance dose. Every monthly price includes the medication, your initial in-person consultation and ongoing clinical oversight, with no hidden fees.
Is Foundayo a tablet or an injection?
Foundayo is a once-daily oral tablet. There are no injections involved, which makes it a popular option for people who prefer not to use a weekly injection pen.
Do I need to take Foundayo on an empty stomach?
No. Unlike oral semaglutide tablets, Foundayo has no food or water timing restrictions and can be taken at any time of day. Always follow your prescriber's instructions.
Who is Foundayo suitable for?
Suitability is decided by our pharmacist at an in-person consultation. Typically, treatment may be considered for adults with a BMI of 30 or above, or 27 and above with a weight-related condition such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure or high cholesterol. It is a prescription-only medicine and is not suitable for everyone.
What are the common side effects of Foundayo?
The most common side effects are digestive, such as nausea, diarrhoea or constipation. These are usually mild and tend to ease as your body adjusts, especially because the dose is increased gradually. Our pharmacist monitors you at regular follow-ups.
Can I get Foundayo on the same day as my consultation?
If treatment is clinically appropriate after your in-person assessment, the first prescription can often be provided the same day at our Didsbury clinic.
