Weight-loss medicines
Weight-loss medicines are meant to be used along with diet, exercise and behavior changes, not instead of them. Before selecting a medicine for you, your healthcare professional considers your health history as well as possible side effects.
Weight loss medications help you lose weight. Some work by helping you feel less hungry and fuller. Others work by changing how you absorb fat or burn calories. Many weight loss drugs are injections, but some are pills you swallow.
Losing weight isn’t always as simple as eating less and exercising more. These drugs can be the answer to years of health challenges for many people. But they aren’t a quick fix or a silver bullet.
What are the benefits of weight loss medicines?
The main benefit is that it helps you lose weight. This can improve your overall health and reduce your risk of developing obesity-related conditions like heart disease. Other benefits include:
- Lower blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar
- Easier movement and less joint/muscle pain
- More confidence in your body
How effective are weight loss medications?
Most adults can expect to lose between 3% to 12% of their starting body weight after one year.Their exact success varies depending on factors like:
- The medication and your individual response
- How long you use it
- If you eat healthy and exercise while taking it
Results can vary from person to person. The weight can come back if you stop the medication. That’s why developing healthy eating and exercise habits should be part of your treatment plan, too.
How long will I take weight loss medication?
It depends on your results and side effects. If you’re doing well on the medicine, your provider may suggest you stay on it for years. But if you aren’t seeing results or having serious side effects, they may recommend you stop, switch or add medication.
Worldwide, obesity affects about 13% of the adult population. Although there is a link with other serious diseases, including cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes mellitus and some forms of malignant neoplasms, obesity is not always considered a serious chronic disease, so the number of treatments is limited. In addition, obese patients may face stigma due to being overweight. Weight bias can be encountered at work, school, and even at the doctor's office, and this can create additional physical and mental health problems.
Currently, our company seeks to change the attitude towards obese patients and approaches to their treatment.
How do weight loss medications work?
Weight loss drugs work in different ways to help you lose weight. Most of them work in one or more of the following ways:
- Decrease your appetite or reduce cravings
- Help you feel full
- Change how you absorb fat
- Increase how many calories you burn
- Improve insulin sensitivity
- Acting on the “weight set point” in the brain and lowering it
Most weight loss medicines are prescription only. They’re broadly classified by the way they work. They can also be categorized as being a GLP-1 agonist or not. This is a newer class of medications that were first used to treat Type 2 diabetes. Healthcare providers noticed that it also led to significant weight loss. Because of this, some GLP-1s are now approved for weight loss, too.
