Default What Happens When Patients Stop Weight-Loss Medications?
Quote:
Semaglutide, like other medications that are used for obesity treatment, have to be taken long term. Just as for any other chronic disease, if a medication is stopped for any reason, the disease is no longer being treated. So, for example, if somebody is taking a medication for hypertension, if you stop that anti-hypertensive medication, the blood pressure goes up and we're not surprised.

In the same way, if someone is taking a medication for obesity treatment, when it is stopped, weight gain occurs -- or weight regain occurs, more accurately.
