ABSTRACT
Obesity is a heterogeneous disease and there is wide patient-to-patient variability in response to all anti-obesity treatments including lifestyle modifications, anti-obesity medications (AOMs), devices, and bariatric surgery. To effectively treat obesity, practitioners must be knowledgeable about all of these treatment modalities including on-label and off-label AOMs. Care should be individualized to the patient taking into consideration their unique challenges with weight loss, their goals, the presence of comorbidities, medication contraindications, and drug-drug interactions. There is currently no way to know which AOM will be most effective for a patient without trial and error; therefore, prescribe AOMs in sequence and consider combination therapy for optimal results. This article reviews the efficacy, safety, prescribing information, and other considerations for all of the currently available AOMs.
