AntiObesityMeds have come a long way! There are more options than ever for women living in larger bodies. Women’s Health Advisory Council member Holly Lofton, M.D., discusses the strides made in the development of ObesityTreatment over the years.
Lofton explained that the weight loss that can be achieved with some of the newer AOMs is significant. For instance, based on the averages found in studies for efficacy, semaglutide delivers as much as 18% weight loss, while phentermine-topiramate comes in close behind at 12%, and naltrexone-bupropion offers between 7% and 11% overall weight loss.
“It's a journey. It’s not a one and done,” Tedder said of her experience with the disease of obesity. “Just like other diseases that you may need to manage, like hypertension or diabetes … you still have to have a treatment plan that you follow to try to make sure that you're maintaining success. Obesity is no different.”
