Mayo Clinic Minute - Weaning off popular weight loss medications

Many people have lost unwanted pounds by using popular injectable weight-loss medications like Ozempic, Wegovy and Zepbound. These drugs contain semaglutide, liraglutide, or tirzepatide, which curb appetite and increase insulin sensitivity. Some studies show that you can lose up to 15% of your body weight. But what if you want to wean off weight-loss medications?

Dr. Meera Shah, a Mayo Clinic endocrinologist, says that if you want to lose weight for good, you need to consistently stay active and eat a nutritious diet.
