Summary

This completed study looked at 226 adults who had lost at least 15% of their body weight while taking GLP-1 medications like Wegovy or Ozempic. Participants stopped their GLP-1 drug and were given either bupropion-naltrexone or bupropion-naltrexone-metformin, plus behavioral support through a telehealth platform. The main goal was to see how much weight they regained or lost after 12 weeks.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Bupropion-Naltrexone and Bupropion-Naltrexone-Metformin
What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward effective options to maintain weight loss after stopping popular GLP-1 medications like Wegovy or Ozempic.
What could go wrong
This is a small, 12-week completed trial with 226 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The step-down drugs have their own side effects and may not fully prevent weight regain.
