Don’t put syringes with items to be recycled, and do not dispose of syringes loosely in regular household trash.

Results do vary, but in a 68-week medical study of 1,961 adults living with obesity or excess weight with a related medical problem, adults lost ~ 35 lbs (or ~ 15% body weight). People taking placebo lost an average of 6 lbs (or ~ 2.5% body weight). The average starting weight for both groups was ~ 232 lbs.
Results are from a 68-week medical study of adults with obesity (BMI ≥ 30) and adults with excess weight (BMI ≥ 27) who also had weight-related medical problems including high blood pressure or high cholesterol. People with type 2 diabetes were excluded.
