Anti-Obesity Drugs: Anti-obesity drugs can be useful adjuncts to diet and exercise for adults with obesity and a Body Mass Index (BMI) >30 kg/m2, who have failed to achieve weight loss goals through diet and exercise alone. A trial of drug therapy is also warranted in patients with a BMI of 27 to 29.9 kg/m2 with comorbidities, or in those in whom gastrointestinal bypass surgery is being considered.
