What happens if I stop taking GLP-1 medications?

When stopping GLP-1 therapy, some patients experience:

• Return of appetite to previous levels
• Potential weight regain if lifestyle habits aren’t maintained
• Loss of metabolic benefits over time

To minimize weight regain after stopping GLP-1s, patients should:

• Transition gradually rather than stopping abruptly
• Maintain healthy eating and exercise habits
• Consider other metabolic support therapies
• Work with your provider on a structured transition plan

Your Defy Medical provider will guide you through the process of stopping or transitioning to ensure the best possible long-term outcomes.
