UK Approves First New Weight Loss Pill | Leicester News

from Leicester News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

The UK just made history as the first European country to approve orforglipron, aka Foundayo, a new weight loss pill that mimics a natural hormone to curb hunger and cravings. Designed for adults with a BMI of 30+ or those with weight-related health issues, it also helps manage type 2 diabetes by stabilizing blood sugar. Unlike Wegovy, which was approved earlier this year and requires an empty stomach, orforglipron can be taken anytime with food or water, and its dose ramps up gradually. Common side effects include nausea, constipation, and stomach discomfort. Though not yet available on the NHS, it’s prescription-only—so don’t risk buying it from unofficial sources.
