Weight Loss Medications

Meaning

Weight Loss Medications are pharmaceutical agents clinically prescribed to assist individuals in achieving and sustaining a healthier body weight by precisely modulating key physiological pathways, including central appetite regulation, peripheral satiety signaling, and, in some cases, nutrient absorption. These medications, which often include GLP-1 receptor agonists or specific central nervous system agents, are typically utilized as a potent adjunct to comprehensive lifestyle and dietary modifications for patients with clinically significant overweight or obesity. They function by addressing the complex hormonal and neurological drivers of chronic energy imbalance.
