Eli Lilly Pill Clears Big Hurdle for Sleep Apnea

Millions of people struggle to breathe while they sleep. Extra weight often makes this problem worse. Now, a simple daily pill offers fresh hope for quiet rest.

Drugmaker Eli Lilly says its new obesity pill eases sleep apnea. The medicine carries the name Foundayo. In late trials, adults on the pill lost weight and had fewer breathing pauses during the night.

Lilly plans to ask for U.S. approval before the end of the year. A green light gives patients an easy choice instead of noisy face masks.

Better sleep protects your heart and boosts daily energy. This win also helps Lilly grow its lead in the booming market for weight care.
