People who stop using the weight-loss jab Mounjaro not only tend to regain weight but also experience a reversal of other health improvements, research suggests.

Mounjaro, which contains the active ingredient tirzepatide, has become a popular weight-loss medication, with studies suggesting it can help people lose an average of 20% of their body weight after 72 weeks of treatment.
