Weight loss medications are an important part of a comprehensive treatment plan for adults who are obese (BMI greater than 30) or overweight (BMI greater than 27) and have increased adiposity complications. Weight loss medications have several advantages, including appetite control, improved eating behaviour, and a slower progression of weight gain and regain.

The oldest weight loss medications are phentermine (Adipex, Ionamin, Suprenza) and diethylpropion. Phentermine is available in doses of 37.5 mg, 30 mg, 15 mg, and 8 mg per day (Lomaira). Phentermine is an adrenergic agonist that suppresses appetite and is FDA-approved for short-term use. Dry mouth, insomnia, dizziness, and irritability are some of the side effects. Patients with hypertension should exercise caution. Orlistat is a weight loss medication that reduces fat absorption in the gastrointestinal tract by inhibiting pancreatic and gastric lipase. It is available OTC in doses of 120 mg (Xenical) and 60 mg (Alli) to be taken with meals. Flatulence with fatty discharge and faecal urgency after consuming high-fat foods are two side effects that lead to medication discontinuation.

 

Contrave (bupropion/naltrexone) is a combination of a dopamine/norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor and an opioid receptor antagonist. Begin with a daily dose of 8/90 mg tablet and gradually increase to four tablets per day. It suppresses food cravings and addictive behaviours. Constipation, headaches, insomnia, and dry mouth are some of the side effects. Uncontrolled hypertension, a history of seizures, and opioid use and dependence are all contraindications.
