flag Study finds anti-obesity drugs help patients lose weight, but weight returns after stopping treatment.

flag A recent study in BMC Medicine indicates that patients using anti-obesity medications can lose significant weight but may gain it back after stopping treatment. flag Participants in 11 randomized trials lost up to 20% of their body weight but began regaining weight eight weeks after discontinuing the drugs. flag The weight gain typically continued for about 20 weeks before stabilizing at a higher point than initial losses. flag Researchers recommend cautious prescription and long-term monitoring for those using these medications.
