How it works
Orforglipron is a small-molecule medicine that activates the GLP-1 receptor. It works on appetite and fullness like the injectables, in tablet form.
How dosing works
After at least 30 days, increase to 2.5 mg, then 5.5 mg. It may step to 9, 14.5 or 17.2 mg after at least 30 days on each. Maximum 17.2 mg daily. Your clinician sets the pace based on how you feel and adjusts it through your portal.
