flag A new oral diabetes and obesity pill, orforglipron, helped adults lose up to 23 pounds in 18 months with mild side effects.

flag A new oral pill, orforglipron, developed by Eli Lilly, helped adults with obesity and type 2 diabetes lose about 10% of their body weight over 18 months in a large international study. flag The daily pill, which does not require refrigeration or injections, showed results comparable to injectable GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic and Mounjaro, with the highest dose leading to an average 23-pound weight loss. flag Side effects were mild to moderate, mainly gastrointestinal. flag If approved by the FDA in 2026, the drug could be more affordable and accessible, especially in low-income countries where obesity causes more deaths than major infectious diseases.
