The Foundayo launch impact on Eli Lilly has been swift and sharp — while FDA approval of orforglipron marked a historic first for oral GLP-1 obesity treatment, early prescription data trailing Novo Nordisk’s Wegovy sent LLY stock down as much as 4.3%, forcing analysts to slash 2026 revenue forecasts from $5 billion to just $1.3–1.6 billion.
New clinical data reveals that oral semaglutide (Wegovy pill) offers greater weight loss efficacy and significantly better GI tolerability than orforglipron.

With tiered pricing starting at $149 per month for self-pay patients, oral Wegovy is now available through major U.S. pharmacies and select telehealth platforms.
