What was said
""About 30% come off GLP-1s in the first month and then 50% or so by by the end of the year, right?""
Dr Chris Thompson, a Harvard Medical School professor and interventional gastroenterologist, says adherence to GLP-1 medicines is a challenge and claims around 30% of users stop within the first month and roughly half stop by the end of the first year. He says the pattern resembles drop-off seen with other long-term medicines and discusses potential drivers including nausea during dose escalation, injection “needle fatigue” and uncertainty about long-term effects.
