GLP-1 tablets
GLP-1 pill tracker: Foundayo, the Wegovy pill and Rybelsus
GLP-1 medicines now come as a daily tablet as well as an injection. GLPMGR tracks them the same way it tracks injections: each tablet, your dose steps, reminders and how you’re feeling. Each tablet has its own rules about how to take it, so below they are in each leaflet’s own words, with a link to the document. This page is not medical advice.
Talk to a healthcare professional. The instructions below are quoted from each medicine’s patient leaflet. Always follow what your doctor, nurse or pharmacist tells you, and read the leaflet that comes with your medicine.

Questions people ask
Can I track orforglipron (Foundayo) in GLPMGR?
Yes. Choose Orforglipron (Foundayo) when you set up your medicine, add the dose steps your prescriber gave you, and log each tablet in a few taps. GLPMGR shows the Medication Guide's wording on how to take it and reminds you when it's due.
Does GLPMGR work for the Wegovy pill and Rybelsus?
Yes. Both are semaglutide as a tablet, and GLPMGR tracks them the same way: each tablet, your dose steps and reminders, with each leaflet's wording on how to take it.
Is orforglipron the same as semaglutide?
No. Rybelsus and the Wegovy pill are semaglutide as a tablet. Foundayo (orforglipron) is a different GLP-1 medicine that only comes as a tablet.
Does GLPMGR tell me when I can eat after my tablet?
Where the leaflet gives a wait before eating, GLPMGR counts it down after you log the tablet: 30 minutes for the Wegovy pill and Rybelsus, in the countries whose leaflet we've checked. The Foundayo Medication Guide says it can be taken with or without food, so there's no countdown for it.
Does GLPMGR tell me what dose to take, or what to do if I miss one?
No. GLPMGR follows the dose steps you enter and shows the leaflet's own words about missed doses. It never works out or recommends a dose. Always follow your doctor, nurse or pharmacist.
Can I switch from injections to tablets?
Yes. If your prescriber moves you from an injection to a tablet, change your medicine in GLPMGR. It checks it's the one you meant and marks the change in your history and your report.
