Missed a Foundayo dose? Here is what to do
Daily pill — simpler rules than weekly injections
Quick read · 3 min
Foundayo is a daily pill, which makes the missed-dose rules simpler than weekly injections. If you remember the same day, take it. If you do not remember until the next day, skip the missed dose and take your regular dose at the normal time. Never take two pills in one day to make up for a missed dose.
- •Remember same day: take it as soon as you remember
- •Next day: skip the missed dose, take your regular dose at normal time
- •Never take two pills in one day
- •Missing one daily dose matters less than missing a weekly injection
- •Set a daily alarm — same time each day builds the habit
- •If you miss several days, resume at your normal dose (no re-titration needed for short gaps)

The rules
Three scenarios, three clear answers.
If you remember at any point during the same day, take the pill. There are no food-timing restrictions, so you can take it with or without food at any time.
Do not double up. Take your regular dose at your normal time. One missed day has minimal impact because orforglipron has a half-life that provides some carry-over.
Unlike weekly injections, short gaps on a daily pill rarely need re-titration. If you have missed a week or more, contact your prescriber to be safe.
