A new oral drug, orforglipron, shows promise for obesity and diabetes, matching injectable results with a once-daily pill.
A new oral weight-loss drug, orforglipron by Eli Lilly, is emerging as a potential "Ozempic 2.0" alternative, offering a once-daily pill option for managing obesity and Type 2 diabetes.
Early trials show it led to an average 10.5% weight loss—about 22.9 pounds—over 72 weeks, outperforming other oral treatments and matching injectables.
The drug, which requires no food or water restrictions, is being fast-tracked for global approval, with a 2026 launch expected.
It may improve access and adherence, especially for those avoiding injections.
Novo Nordisk’s oral semaglutide is also in development, with similar results.
Both drugs could transform obesity treatment, though side effects like nausea persist.
The FDA has not yet approved either.
Un nuevo fármaco oral, el orforgliprón, es prometedor para la obesidad y la diabetes, al igual que los resultados obtenidos con una píldora inyectable administrada una vez al día.
