Quick Summary
Stopping popular weight-loss injections like Ozempic or Mounjaro might not trigger the dramatic rebound many fear. A large real-world study of nearly 8,000 patients found that most people who discontinue these drugs manage to keep the weight off—or even continue losing—by restarting treatment, switching medications, or adopting lifestyle changes. While earlier clinical trials suggested rapid weight regain, this new evidence paints a more hopeful picture.
