A first of its kind research study from Virta Health shows sustained weight loss after deprescribing GLP-1s among a real world population. 

This new study, just published in Diabetes Therapy, shows that patients enrolled in Virta maintained the beneficial effects on blood sugar and weight loss, even after GLP-1 medication were removed, making a “lifetime” prescription unnecessary.

This is a landmark study for health plan and benefits leaders looking for cost effective and sustainable alternatives to contain spiraling GLP-1 costs.

• The role lifestyle programs can play in containing Rx costs and supporting member choice and satisfaction
