ReviewDecoding Obesity Management Medications and the Journey to Informed Treatment Choices for Patients.
Incretin-based obesity management medications (OMMs) fill a treatment gap in a stepped-care model between lifestyle change alone and metabolic bariatric surgery, resulting in weight loss of 15% to 20% of body weight. Public interest in and demand for OMMs has recently increased dramatically. ⋯ When considering strategies to aid patients in decision making about obesity treatment, several considerations warrant discussion because patients may have unrealistic perceptions about risk vs efficacy and may hold numerous misconceptions about long-term behavior change and outcomes. This article outlines considerations for informed obesity treatment decision making and reviews aspects of obesity treatment specific to OMMs, including adverse effects, patient expectations for treatment outcome, equitable access to care, the impact of weight bias on patient care, the risk of weight recurrence, and the need for long-term multicomponent treatment to achieve weight loss and weight maintenance.
