Anti-obesity drugs are associated with weight “rebound” after treatment
Patients who are prescribed weight loss drugs may experience a rebound effect after stopping treatment, according to a meta-analysis published in BMC Medicine. The study, which analyses data from patients who received weight loss drugs in 11 randomised clinical trials, suggests that while the amount of weight regained varies depending on the specific drug, there is a general tendency to regain weight once treatment is stopped.
