People who stop using the weight-loss drug Mounjaro often regain weight and lose key health improvements, according to new research. The study found that stopping tirzepatide, the active ingredient in Mounjaro, not only leads to weight regain but also reverses benefits such as lower blood pressure, improved blood sugar control and reduced “bad” cholesterol levels. Researchers analysed data from the Surmount-4 clinical trial, which followed adults with obesity or overweight plus related health conditions. All participants used tirzepatide for 36 weeks before being split into two groups: one continued the drug, while the other switched to a placebo for a…

Tottenham head coach Frank has said the club is not close to spending £100m on a single player, unlike rivals Arsenal, who signed Declan Rice for £105m in 2023.
