About this listen
Listeners, a new study published in BMC Medicine reveals that people may start regaining weight within weeks of stopping drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy. This research review analyzed data from eleven clinical trials with nearly twenty-five hundred participants. It found significant weight regain at eight, twelve, and twenty weeks after discontinuation. The active ingredient, semaglutide, led to substantial weight loss during use, but the rebound averaged twenty weeks before plateauing.
Factors like medication type, diabetes presence, and lifestyle changes such as diet or exercise influenced the regain. For example, those on tirzepatide, a similar drug, regained almost half their lost weight after switching to a placebo in a thirty-six-week trial. Researchers from Peking University People's Hospital call for longer studies to understand these patterns better.
Originally for type 2 diabetes, Ozempic, or semaglutide, now shows promise off-label for weight loss in overweight or obese individuals. Research from the IDIR Lab indicates users can expect five to twenty percent body weight loss, with varying success.
AOL reports this trend across six approved obesity drugs, including semaglutide and liraglutide. While these medications transform lives, maintaining results likely requires ongoing use or sustained healthy habits.
Ozempic impacts lifestyle by curbing appetite via GLP-1 receptor mimicry, helping with portion control and better eating. Pair it with exercise for optimal health benefits, but consult doctors for personalized advice.
Stay tuned for more updates as research evolves.
