- Abstract
This article discusses the use of anti-obesity medications (AOM) as a supplement to lifestyle modifications for weight management. The authors propose an algorithm for selecting the appropriate AOM based on factors such as BMI, age, and specific needs of the individual. They provide a description of various FDA-approved AOM and their indications. The algorithm aims to personalize the use of AOM to maximize weight loss success. It is important to note that the selection of AOM should also consider medical considerations, cost, personal preference, and availability.
