Discontinuation of obesity pharmacotherapy leads to significant weight regain and recurrence of metabolic benefits loss, necessitating lifelong treatment or intensive lifestyle support.

Obesity is a chronic condition, much like high blood pressure. If you stop your medication, you will likely regain the weight and your health markers (like blood sugar and blood pressure) may worsen. Most people need to stay on treatment long-term to maintain their health benefits. If you want to stop, discuss a plan with your doctor, as weight regain is very common.
