Gradual weaning off anti-obesity jabs could help avoid weight gain – study
Gradually bringing patients off anti-obesity jabs over a longer period could be effective in helping them to avoid regaining weight, a study has found.
A lower dose of the drug combined with lifestyle changes could also be effective for weight loss, according to researchers.
They claim tailoring dosages to each individual patient would be cheaper and could help tackle shortages of semaglutide, as well as minimising side-effects such as diarrhoea, nausea, vomiting and dizziness.
The research, which is being presented, included 2,246 people from who were enrolled in a weight management programme through the Embla app.
