Weight-loss injections like Wegovy help most lose 16-21% of body weight, but up to 20% see minimal effect.

Clinical trials show that weight-loss injections like Wegovy and Mounjaro can help people lose 16-21% of their body weight. However, these drugs aren't effective for everyone; about 10-15% of participants in trials lost less than 5%, a clinically meaningful amount. Outside trials, up to 20% may not respond well. Factors include genetics, lack of lifestyle support, and off-label prescribing. Despite limitations, these drugs offer significant health benefits for many struggling with weight loss.
