Obesity has become an epidemic and a worldwide problem and its treatment is ever-evolving. Apart from diet and exercise, medication and surgery are other options. After disappointing side effects of various obesity drugs, new treatments showed promising results. This review discusses the following anti-obesity drugs: liraglutide, semaglutide, tirzepatide, orlistat, as well as the phenter-mine/topiramate and bupropion/naltrexone combinations. These drugs have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for weight reduction except for tirzepatide which is still under evaluation. Efficacy and tolerable safety profiles of some of these drugs contribute to the management of obesity and reduce the complications associated with this chronic disease.

Abstract

Obesity has become an epidemic and a worldwide problem and its treatment is ever-evolving. Apart from diet and exercise, medication and surgery are other options. After disappointing side effects of various obesity drugs, new treatments showed promising results. This review discusses the following anti-obesity drugs: liraglutide, semaglutide, tirzepatide, orlistat, as well as the phenter-mine/topiramate and bupropion/naltrexone combinations. These drugs have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for weight reduction except for tirzepatide which is still under evaluation. Efficacy and tolerable safety profiles of some of these drugs contribute to the management of obesity and reduce the complications associated with this chronic disease.
