In a recent late-stage clinical trial, people who switched from weekly injectable GLP-1 drugs such as Wegovy or Zepbound to the experimental daily GLP-1 pill orforglipron maintained nearly all the weight loss they experienced over one year

First introduced in the early 2000s, these medications mimic the natural hormone glucagon-like peptide-1, which helps regulate blood sugar by stimulating insulin release and suppressing glucagon secretion after meals (glucagon is the hormone that raises blood glucose levels by stimulating the liver to release glucose into the bloodstream)
