  1. Weight Loss Medications (Anti Obesity Medications)

  2. What are Weight Loss Medications? • Weight loss medications, sometimes also known as weight loss drugs or anti-obesity medications, are prescription drugs that reduce your appetite and food cravings. Over the past several years, the FDA has approved a number of anti-obesity medications that help control appetite and food cravings • Because weight loss drugs make you less hungry, they also reduce the number of calories your body takes in each day. Over time, eating fewer calories will make you lose weight. • Some anti-obesity medications also help decrease cravings and control compulsive eating, particularly for sweets and fatty, salty, high-calorie foods.

  3. What do Doctors Prescribe for Weight Loss? FDA-approved weight loss medications include: • Phentermine (Adipex, Lomaira) • Lorcaserin(Belviq) • Phentermine/topiramate ER (Qsymia) • Naltrexone/buproprion HCL (Contrave) • Liraglutide(Saxenda) • Victoza • Saxenda

These medications work by controlling blood sugar (glucose) levels inside the body, which in turn helps people feel less hungry and fuller. These medications are known as GLP1-agonists. They include: • Liraglutide (Victoza, Saxenda), • Lixisenatide (Lyxumia), • Albiglutide (Tanzeum), • Dulaglutide (Trulicity), • Semaglutide (Ozempic), and • Exenatide (Bydureon).
