Abstract
Objectives: Why use pharmacotherapy in obesity treatment? Defining Long term strategies in managing obesity treatment. Understanding the significance of clinically significant weight loss and prevention of weight regain. Understanding the indications and usage of pharmacotherapy in chronic weight management. Obesity is a disease of epidemic proportions affecting individuals regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, or age. Obesity is associated with over 200 comorbidities and associated health conditions. Previous attempts at treating weight and its associated disease states have resulted in failure with diet and exercise alone. We will review the indications, utilization, usage and possible side effects of the different anti-obesity medications (AOM) currently available for treatment. We will also review the different pathways that pharmacotherapy can target for specific patient populations. We will also explore how to use combination therapies with diet, exercise and possible pharmacotherapy and/or weight loss surgical options.
