WHAT IS FOUNDAYO?

A tablet changes the format.
It does not remove the need for medical care.

Foundayo is the brand name for orforglipron, a non-peptide GLP-1 receptor agonist taken by mouth once a day. It is registered in the UAE for chronic weight management in eligible adults, alongside a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity.

An oral format is one factor in the decision. A doctor must also review your health history, current medicines, previous treatment and follow-up needs. Explore MyCare’s weight-management programme to understand the broader assessment pathway.

THE DECISION COMES BEFORE THE PRESCRIPTION

WHO MAY BE CONSIDERED

Eligibility is personal.
The review should be too.

Foundayo may be considered for adults living with obesity, or some adults who are overweight and have a weight-related medical condition. BMI alone does not tell the whole story.

A clinician needs to understand previous treatment, current medicines, symptoms, medical history and what sustainable progress would look like for you.

What the doctor needs to understand

The assessment is designed to identify both suitability and reasons another pathway may be safer or more appropriate.

A prescription should follow a clinical decision—not replace one.

If Foundayo is prescribed, the plan should also cover nutrition, hydration, side-effect management, progress review and what happens if treatment needs to change.

Your health history

Previous conditions, procedures and family history can change whether treatment is appropriate.

Current medicines

The doctor should review prescriptions, supplements and any other GLP-1 medicine you may already use.

Weight-related risks

Blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar and other health factors may shape the clinical pathway.

Readiness for follow-up

Monitoring tolerance, nutrition and progress matters after treatment begins.

Good weight-management care is not about finding the newest medicine. It is about finding an appropriate plan and supporting it properly.

FOUNDAYO DUBAI FAQS

Questions worth asking
before you begin.

Straight answers about Foundayo, orforglipron, prescription requirements, suitability and doctor-guided support in Dubai.

What is Foundayo and what is its active ingredient?

Foundayo is the brand name for orforglipron, a once-daily oral GLP-1 receptor agonist. It is a prescription medicine used with reduced-calorie nutrition and increased physical activity for chronic weight management in eligible adults.

Is Foundayo approved and available in the UAE?

The Emirates Drug Establishment registered Foundayo in the UAE in April 2026. Access still requires a valid prescription and depends on clinical suitability and licensed-pharmacy availability.

Who may be eligible for Foundayo in Dubai?

It may be considered for adults with obesity, or some adults who are overweight and have a weight-related medical condition. A doctor must review BMI, health history, current medicines and individual risks before deciding whether it is appropriate.

How is Foundayo taken?

Foundayo is taken by mouth once daily, with or without food, exactly as prescribed. Tablets should be swallowed whole. Do not change the dose or restart after a prolonged interruption without speaking to the prescribing clinician.

How is Foundayo different from injectable GLP-1 medicines?

Foundayo contains orforglipron and is an oral tablet. Other GLP-1 medicines may contain different active ingredients and use weekly injections or different oral instructions. Convenience does not determine suitability; the decision should be based on medical assessment.

What side effects can occur with Foundayo?

Common effects reported by the manufacturer include nausea, constipation, diarrhoea, vomiting, indigestion, abdominal pain, headache, bloating, tiredness, belching, heartburn, gas and hair loss. Discuss expected effects and warning signs with your doctor before treatment.

Can Foundayo be used with another GLP-1 medicine?

Use with another GLP-1 receptor agonist is not recommended. Tell the doctor about every medicine and supplement you use before treatment is considered.

How do I ask MyCare about Foundayo in Dubai?

Start with MyCare’s GLP-1 eligibility assessment or contact the care team on WhatsApp. A licensed doctor can review whether Foundayo or another pathway is clinically appropriate. Medication is prescribed only when suitable.

What should I prepare for a Foundayo consultation?

Prepare your weight history, previous weight-management treatments, current medicines and supplements, allergies and any recent medical reports. Tell the clinician what you hope to achieve and what concerns you have. The assessment helps the doctor decide which pathway may be appropriate.

How can I check Foundayo availability and treatment costs in Dubai?

Ask the MyCare team about the assessment process and current arrangements. Confirm consultation, medicine and follow-up costs separately before proceeding. A website enquiry does not confirm pharmacy stock, prescription eligibility or a guaranteed treatment outcome.

Can MyCare guarantee a specific amount of weight loss?

No specific weight-loss result can be guaranteed. Discuss realistic goals, monitoring and follow-up with the assessing doctor through MyCare’s weight-management programme.
