2. SOUNDBITE (English) Dr. Katherine Saunders, obesity physician at Weill Cornell Medicine:
“A question that we, as obesity medicine physicians are asked all the time is about when people can stop taking anti-obesity medications and what happens when they do stop anti-obesity medications. The bottom line is that obesity is a chronic disease, so it needs to be treated long term in order to be managed.”

6. SOUNDBITE (English) Dr. Katherine Saunders, obesity physician at Weill Cornell Medicine:
“We have patients tell us all the time that they want to stop taking their anti-obesity medications. I would say two of the biggest reasons right now are cost – people who are paying out of pocket, it is just exorbitantly expensive – and two is supply. We have so many patients who have so much anxiety about whether or not they can get their next dose.”
