Some people may actually gain back more weight than they initially lost after stopping obesity drugs Ozempic and Wegovy.
Novo Nordisk told CNBC that people must keep taking the company's blockbuster weight loss drug Wegovy to keep weight off.The Danish pharmaceutical company still needs to conduct more investigations and clinical trials to understand what drives those rates of weight gain.This photograph taken on February 23, 2023, in Paris, shows the anti-diabetic medication "Ozempic" made by Danish pharmaceutical company "Novo Nordisk".
Conde-Knape said rates of weight gain after stopping Wegovy vary depending on the individual, adding that "some will come back earlier, some will come later." She said it's tied to how the drugs work. They mimic a hormone produced in the gut called GLP-1, which signals to the brain when a person is full. She called that a "direct effect on satiety," and noted that the drugs can also control what type of food people crave.
