“Orforglipron's safety profile and predicted lower cost will open the door for many more people worldwide needing obesity treatment”
“This could open the door to treatment for all.”
“We know it is harder for individuals with diabetes to lose weight. It is exciting to have an oral medication that provides double-digit weight loss, which on average was 23 lbs. Once FDA approved, orforglipron is scheduled to be available in 2026 at a significantly decreased cost compared to current injectables. This could position it to be the 'metformin' of obesity and become widely covered by insurance plans, opening the door to treatment for all”
