Will I regain weight if I stop taking the Wegovy pill?

Some weight regain is possible after stopping the Wegovy pill, but it is not guaranteed for everyone. Semaglutide helps reduce appetite while it is being taken, so hunger and food intake may increase again once treatment is stopped. Studies with semaglutide show that weight regain is common after discontinuation, especially without ongoing diet, activity and behavioural support.

Key points:

• Stopping treatment may lead to increased appetite again.
• Weight regain is common after stopping semaglutide treatment.
• Ongoing diet, activity and lifestyle support can help reduce regain.
• Individual results vary, so treatment changes should be discussed with a healthcare professional.
