Orforglipron
Every GLP-1 the FDA has approved, and the active ingredient inside each one.
Definition
The generic name for Foundayo, and the first non-peptide GLP-1 agonist to reach approval. Its contraceptive interaction works differently from tirzepatide's — co-localization in the GI tract rather than delayed gastric emptying — so the two warnings are not interchangeable.
