Weight Loss Drugs...what works?

Posted by Aaron W. On 12/24/2010


From Medscape

Intro:
The few drugs that have actually reached the market in recent years promote weight loss either by boosting the body's basal metabolic rate, blocking the absorption of dietary fat, or suppressing appetite.  People who take these drugs typically lose weight for the first 6 months until they reach a plateau that can't be surpassed without increasing exercise or caloric restriction.  Long-term safety is also a big issue, plus the weight lost over those 6 months is commonly put back on.


diet pillPharmacotherapy is not indicated as a first-line therapy for obesity, and should not be initiated until all nonpharmacologic attempts at weight loss (diet, exercise) have failed.

Drugs in the Pipeline and Future

Conclusion:
Obesity is a chronic, relapsing, biologic condition that may well require long-term pharmacotherapy, in the same manner as hypertension and diabetes.  To date, however, the average amount of weight lost with most pharmacologic agents has been modest at best, and the typical patient will most likely remain overweight or obese even with ongoing treatment.
 
Weight-loss drugs are expensive; neither Medicare nor most insurance plans cover them. In addition, most are associated with adverse effects.

    With the ketogenic diet it is possible, without reducing carories to have an effect on anti aging. https://hschange.com/ultra-fast-keto-boost/ For everyone else who is using the keto diet for weight loss or other health benefits, the amount of daily protein can be somewhere in between.
