A year after stopping taking weight-loss drugs such as Ozempic and Wegovy, people regain—on average—60% of their lost weight. But beyond this, their regained weight plateaus, with individuals managing to keep off 25% of the weight lost to treatment, say researchers at the University of Cambridge. The work appears in eClinicalMedicine.
