Full Prescribing Information

This information is provided in response to your request. Resources may contain information about doses, uses, formulations and populations different from product labeling. See Prescribing Information above, if applicable.

What happens when patients discontinue Foundayo™ (orforglipron)?

Eli Lilly and Company did not evaluate efficacy outcomes following discontinuation of orforglipron treatment. The safety follow-up period in phase 3 studies was not designed to characterize the effects of discontinuing orforglipron treatment on safety.




See important safety information, including boxed warning, in the attached prescribing information.



Orforglipron efficacy and safety after discontinuation 

Eli Lilly and Company does not have data on the impact of orforglipron treatment discontinuation on efficacy outcomes such as weight regain or glycemic control, as these have not been systematically evaluated.1-7

In the phase 3 studies, adverse events, laboratory parameters, and vital signs continued to be collected during a protocol-defined off-drug follow-up period after the last dose, and these data are included in the safety information in the Prescribing Information. The follow-up period was not designed to characterize the effects of discontinuing orforglipron treatment.1-8

Enclosed Prescribing Information
