Obesity

Obesity is a chronic medical condition characterized by excessive body fat. It is generally defined as having a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher. Obesity is a significant risk factor for various health complications, including type 2 diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, and certain types of cancer.
The primary goal of treatment for obesity is to reduce body weight and maintain a healthier weight in the long term. This can be achieved through a combination of lifestyle modifications, such as improved diet and increased physical activity, and pharmacological interventions when necessary.
In the Obesity Category, you will find medications that are commonly prescribed to assist in weight loss and management. These medications work by suppressing appetite, increasing feelings of fullness, or affecting the absorption of nutrients. Examples of such medications include orlistat, liraglutide, and phentermine.
Consult with a healthcare professional before starting any weight loss treatment to ensure the most appropriate and safe course of action. Always follow the prescribed dosage and follow-up with regular check-ups to monitor progress and manage potential side effects.
