Anti-obesity Medication Options

Before starting any anti-obesity medication, there are some general considerations to keep in mind. 

  • These medications are approved for patients with a BMI greater than 30 kg/m2 or a BMI of 27-29.9 kg/m2 with weight-related comorbidities such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol.
  • If you decide to use medication as part of your weight loss program, it is essential to combine it with healthy eating and physical activity. Using medications alone without making these lifestyle changes can lead to failure.
  • Most people respond better to a single-ingredient medication rather than a two-ingredient medication due to fewer side effects.
  • For those who have success with their weight loss program, a weight loss of at least 5% of their body weight can be expected within 3-12 months. However, if medication is used as part of the weight loss journey and then discontinued, weight gain may occur again. Therefore, long-term use of anti-obesity medications may be a reasonable consideration to help maintain weight loss of at least >5%.
  • If you do not lose more than 3% of your body weight in 12 weeks while on the maximum dose of a specific medication, it's likely that you will not respond to that medication.
