Weight Loss Medication and Therapies

Drugs for weight reduction reduce your appetite, which lowers the number of calories your body consumes daily. You will lose weight over time if you eat less calories. In particular for sweets and fatty, salty, high-calorie foods, several anti-obesity drugs assist reduce cravings and manage obsessive eating.

FDA-approved weight loss medications include the following:

•        phentermine (Adipex, Lomaira)

•        lorcaserin (Belviq)

•        phentermine/topiramate ER (Qsymia)

•        Naltrexone/buproprion HCL (Contrave)
