Yes, some patients may be able to switch from the Wegovy pill to Foundayo. Although both are daily GLP-1 tablets, they contain different active ingredients and are not dose-for-dose equivalents.
Wegovy pill to Foundayo switching guide
| Current Wegovy pill dose | Estimated Foundayo switching dose |
| 1.5 mg once daily | 0.8 mg once daily |
| 4 mg once daily | 2.5 mg once daily |
| 9 mg once daily | 5.5 mg once daily |
| 25 mg once daily | 9 mg once daily |
This table is Lotus's estimated switching guide and is based on clinical judgement rather than a formally studied dose conversion. Starting Foundayo above its usual 0.8 mg starting dose is an off-label switching approach.
Your prescriber will consider your current dose, side effects, treatment history and when you last took Wegovy before confirming your Foundayo dose and start date. The two medicines should not be taken together.
