Read More »It's normal to feel hungry. It's your body's way of telling you it's time to fuel up. But if you find yourself craving food even though you just ate, there's a good chance you'll gain weight. Can appetite suppressants help? Maybe. But before you consider trying them, take some time to learn what they are and how they work. Prescription Appetite Suppressants Appetite suppressants are drugs designed to curb hunger and, in turn, help you lose weight. The FDA has approved these medications that you can only get with a doctor's prescription: Liraglutide (Saxenda). You take this as an injection. It was also marketed as a diabetes treatment under the brand name Victoza. The drug dampens hunger by acting on a hormone in the gut. Naltrexone/bupropion (Contrave). It contains two medications and may affect the reward system in your brain, so eating certain foods that would normally make you feel good no longer do. It also works on the hypothalamus, the part of your brain that regulates appetite, temperature, and other functions. Phentermine/topiramate (Qsymia). It's a combo of two drugs. Phentermine is a stimulant that makes you feel less hungry. Topiramate is a medicine used for seizures and headache, but as part of a combo with phentermine may make you feel less hungry and more full. There are also some other options -- like phentermine, benzphetamine, diethylpropion, and phendimetrazine -- but those can only be used for up to 12 weeks. You may have heard of another drug the FDA has approved to treat obesity called orlistat (Alli), but it's not an appetite suppressant. It works by preventing your body from absorbing a portion of fat from the food you eat. The brand name of the prescription-strength version is called Xenical. There are also supplements that claim to be appetite suppressants. These products, though, aren't classified as drugs by the FDA, so they're not reviewed by the agency before they hit the market. There aren't any over-the-counter appetite suppressant drugs that have been approved by the FDA.

Read More »The medication semaglutide (Wegovy) received FDA approval for treatment of obesity in 2021. More common prescription weight loss drugs which have been in use longer include: liraglutide (Saxenda), naltrexone-bupropion (Contrave), orlistat (Alli, Xenical), phentermine-topiramate (Qsymia ), and tirzepatide (Mounjaro).
Excess weight requires lifelong management. Weight issues are progressive as we age, and frequently excess weight returns. Obesity is a chronic condition that places your health at risk, however, there are various options for managing and treating excess weight. Prescription weight loss drugs are now considered a frontline treatment. Your weight is classified as obese if your body mass index (BMI) is 30 or higher. Doctors will prescribe them if you meet this criterion or if it's at least 27 and you have a condition that may be related to your weight, like type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. You'll still need to focus on diet and exercise while taking these drugs, and they're not for everyone. The medication semaglutide (Wegovy) received FDA approval for treatment of obesity in 2021. More common prescription weight loss drugs which have been in use longer include: liraglutide (Saxenda), naltrexone-bupropion (Contrave), orlistat (Alli, Xenical), phentermine-topiramate (Qsymia ), and tirzepatide (Mounjaro). Before you get a weight loss drug prescription, tell your doctor about your medical history. That includes any allergies or other conditions you have; medicines or supplements you take (even if they're herbal or natural); and whether you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to get pregnant soon.
