Concerns with Going Off Weight Loss Drugs
Weight loss drugs can lead to significant weight loss, with obese patients losing between 15 and 20% of their body weight. However, discontinuing these drugs may result in rapid weight regain, as confirmed by medical studies. Patients who stop taking GLP1 agonists often regain about two-thirds of the lost weight. This illustrates the importance of having a long-term plan when using weight loss drugs.
