When Will Orforglipron Be Available in the UK? What You Need to Know
There’s been a lot of talk lately about a new weight loss pill in development — and for good reason. Orforglipron, the latest innovation from pharmaceutical leader Eli Lilly, is set to become the first oral GLP-1 receptor agonist specifically designed for weight loss and diabetes management.
But many are wondering: When will Orforglipron be available in the UK?
Here’s what we know so far — and what you can do in the meantime.
What Is Orforglipron?
Orforglipron is a once-daily, non-injectable GLP-1 medication that mimics the body’s natural appetite-regulating hormones. It helps people:
- Feel fuller for longer
- Reduce calorie intake
- Manage blood sugar levels
- Lose weight safely and gradually
In early studies, Orforglipron helped patients achieve weight loss of up to 14.7%, making it a powerful potential alternative to injectable medications like Wegovy and Mounjaro.
When Is Orforglipron Coming to the UK?
Eli Lilly is currently conducting Phase 3 trials of Orforglipron, with results expected by the end of 2025. If successful, the company plans to apply for regulatory approval immediately after.
This puts the estimated UK release date in early to mid-2026, depending on approval from the MHRA (Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency).
