Obesity is a growing global concern, like a desert that seems to expand with each passing year. This research explores the use of pharmacotherapy in managing obesity, examining the available medications and drugs under investigation. It highlights the limitations of lifestyle and behavioral modifications alone and emphasizes the role of medications in achieving and sustaining weight loss.

It also discusses the potential of anti-obesity agents currently in the pipeline. The authors emphasize that pharmacotherapy should be considered in conjunction with lifestyle modifications and that even modest weight loss can offer significant health benefits.
