Weight Management Program

Printable Brochure
Drug Therapy. Drug therapy is helpful for some obese individuals, in combination with diet and exercise. The decision to initiate drug therapy should only be made by a doctor after careful evaluation of risks and benefits.

Goals:

  • Weight loss should exceed 5 lbs during the first month of drug therapy in order to be considered effective.
  • In drug studies, weight loss of 10-15 percent of your body weight is considered a good response and weight loss of greater than 15 percent is considered an excellent response.
  • It is unrealistic to expect the outcome to return to ideal body weight.
