Taking the Wegovy pill
The timing rule matters more than with any other weight-loss drug.
Morning coffee, lunch, bedtime — it doesn't matter. Consistency is what matters, so pick one and stick to it.
Take it with a normal amount of water. No need to measure. Don't split, chew or crush it.
Before, during or after taking the pill — it all works. You don't need to wait 30 minutes like with the Wegovy pill.
Aim for roughly the same time each day, but a few hours either way is fine.
Foundayo is a small-molecule GLP-1 — meaning it's built like a traditional pill drug, not a peptide. Small molecules survive stomach acid and are absorbed like any other tablet. That's why no timing rules are needed, and why it's the first oral GLP-1 you can take with breakfast.
