Orforglipron
Bottom line
The same substance costs $299 a month at its cheapest verified route and $299 at its dearest, a gap of $0 a month or $0 a year. Which product it is sold as changes the approved indication and the dose ceiling, not the molecule.

What is orforglipron, and what does it cost?
Orforglipron is sold as Foundayo. halfrx records 2 verified routes to it, from $299 a month at Foundayo to $299 at LillyDirect. Each figure is the all-in maintenance price — membership plus medication where a seller bundles them — read from that seller's own published page on the date beside it. On trial evidence the best published result for this molecule is 14.7% average weight loss, from the trial behind Foundayo; no head-to-head has compared it against another molecule, so that ranks a published result rather than the drug. Its FDA label lists nausea, constipation, diarrhoea, vomiting among the common reactions, each with its own page here. A compounded preparation of the same molecule is a different legal product rather than a discount on the approved one: compounding is an exemption from approval, so it carries no trial and no approved label of its own.

What every orforglipron label lists, and each on its own page
These reactions appear on the FDA label of Foundayo — the same molecule, so the same list.
- Does Foundayo make you feel sick?
- Does Foundayo cause constipation?
- Does Foundayo cause diarrhoea?
- Does Foundayo make you throw up?
Boxed warning. In rodents this molecule caused thyroid C-cell tumours at human-relevant doses. Whether it does so in people is unknown, and the label carries that as a boxed warning. It is contraindicated outright with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or MEN 2.

Orforglipron, answered
- What is the cheapest orforglipron?
- Foundayo at $299 a month all-in once titrated, read from its own published page on 2026-08-20. The dearest verified route to the same molecule is LillyDirect at $299.
- Which products contain orforglipron?
- Foundayo.
- Is compounded orforglipron the same as the branded version?
- Same molecule, different legal product. Compounding is an exemption from FDA approval rather than a form of it, so a compounded preparation has no trial and no approved label of its own, and its quality is a fact about the pharmacy that mixes it. No seller on this site names that pharmacy — all eleven checked, with the pages read listed at /pharmacy.
- How much weight do people lose on orforglipron?
- 14.7% on average in the trial behind Foundayo, ATTAIN-1, phase 3: mean 14.7% body weight lost at the highest dose over 72 weeks. That figure describes one trial population under one protocol; no head-to-head trial has compared these molecules against each other, so it ranks published results rather than the drugs.
Every price is read from the seller's own published page on the date shown; anything past 45 days without a re-check is marked stale rather than quietly aging. Label information from FDA prescribing information for FOUNDAYO. Information only, not medical advice.
