The makers of the popular weight loss drug Wegovy say new data, from one of their longest medical trials to date, shows the drug has sustained benefits.
Novo Nordisk says patients taking the drug maintained an average 10 per cent weight loss after four years on the treatment.
After years of persistent shortages, the drug finally became available to Canadians as of last week, despite being greenlit since 2021.
Global health reporter Katherine Ward has more on the results of the trial.

Is this skibidi?
you dont need this come on just do a normal diet
So now ppl can become even more lazy. Instead of diet & exercise. Just take a shot to lose weight.
This saved my life
It's proven that diet and exercise does not work, especially if somebody has broken their spine and cannot lift or work out like they are supposed to or like what they could in the past. It definitely saves people's lives. I was always a 115 to a 120 pounds, and I was in a severe car accident got Tb. I and spinal cord injury. Well, let me tell you my life change radically and I gained weight fast. I became 190 pounds was the most. I ever weighed with the most highest Blood Pressure and anxiety. And almost had a heart attack and I was barely 32 years old? So, yes, they put me on this stuff and let me tell you. Today I'm backed on to exactly where I'm supposed to be. My weight is managed. I eat, right. I eat clean has nothing to do with what I was doing before and my injury, because I did every type of diet for 2 and a 1/2 years you can name and nothing worked it didn't matter. I paid for the highest membership and the highest paying. Trainer, and that barely worked. I could say, maybe I gained more weight because the weight that I had sure it turned into muscle but it was still fat. It wasn't shedding it wasn't shaping me either. It was actually causing me more damage. I end up hurting my spine even more so all of you who think that oh diet and exercise is the way to go. Yeah, it is after you can sustain the weight that needs to drop. And that's what this is for is to help those that cannot just lose weight, because some bodies are not designed like your perfect, so-called body that you are obviously talking about. Please, before you speak about subjects. Why don't you do? The homework and do the research and really dig. Deep into medical knowledge and history about weight management. And not just that, but about diets, because diets are a fad, just letting you know
Good deal, just realize it's company-funded research, so there is no guarantee that there wasn't some kind of manipulation of results involved.
Yeah, sustained as long as you continue using ???. Pointless! What happens when one stops using it.
Keyword “funded by” and also “as long as they were taking the drug”
ah yes another 100% safe 100% effective?
