Overview
- Amazon Pharmacy, which added Foundayo Thursday, will offer same-day delivery in nearly 3,000 cities and in-clinic pickup at select One Medical kiosks, with prices as low as $25 per month with insurance or $149 cash for the lowest dose.
- Lilly began shipping Foundayo through LillyDirect on Monday, April 6, and availability is expanding through retail pharmacies and telehealth partners such as Ro and WeightWatchers.
- Foundayo won FDA approval under the Commissioner’s National Priority Voucher pilot, with a review completed roughly 50 days after submission.
- Clinical data show an average 12.4% weight loss at the highest dose over 72 weeks, and the label lists common gastrointestinal side effects along with a boxed warning about a potential risk of thyroid C‑cell tumors.
- Because the pill needs no refrigeration and has no food or water timing rules, it can be stocked in kiosks and may appeal to people who prefer a pill over injections, though real-world tolerability and insurance coverage will determine uptake.
