Patients taking the popular weight loss drug semaglutide, sold as Wegovy, can expect to see sustained weight loss for up to 4 years after starting treatment, according to a study.

In the longest trial so far, the benefits of the drug were sustained in all categories of patients. Weight loss continued for 15 months on average, then plateaued.
