What happens when I stop taking a drug like Ozempic or Mounjaro?

Research output: Contribution to journalOnline ResourceEducation

Abstract

Drugs like Ozempic are very effective at helping most people who take them lose weight. Semaglutide (sold as Wegovy and Ozempic) and tirzepatide (sold as Zepbound and Mounjaro) are the most well known in the class of drugs that mimic hormones to reduce feelings of hunger.
But does weight come back when you stop using it?
