> One year after withdrawal of once-weekly subcutaneous semaglutide 2.4 mg and lifestyle intervention, participants regained two-thirds of their prior weight loss
> Findings confirm the chronicity of obesity and suggest ongoing treatment is required to maintain improvements in weight and health
- kasey_junk 2y agoThe current guidance for weight loss is a maximum 2 year treatment window https://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/ta875/documents/final-appraisal-determination-document https://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/ta875/documents/final-appra... I think diabetes doesn’t have a max treatment recommendation because most of the other interventions choices are also long term.

Yes, people will probably have to bounce on and off them, but that's not the same as a lifelong addiction.
