Anti-Obesity Drugs

Anti-obesity drugs, also known as weight loss medications, are medications that are prescribed to help individuals lose weight and manage obesity. These drugs work through various mechanisms to assist in weight reduction by either reducing appetite, decreasing absorption of nutrients, or affecting metabolism. It's important to note that these medications are typically prescribed as part of a comprehensive weight loss plan that includes a balanced diet, increased physical activity, and behavioral changes.
