Obesity: the New Global Epidemic. Pharmacological Treatment, Opportunities and Limits for Personalized Therapy.
CONCLUSION: The drugs, associated with the standard diet and / or exercise protocols, represent a good therapeutic opportunity to allow not only weight loss but also to reduce the risk of developing diseases caused by obesity, particularly cardiovascular diseases, and to maintain the set objectives over time. However, future research on the pharmacological treatment of obesity should encourage greater personalization of therapy, given the differences in safety, efficacy and response to therapy, in the different subpopulations of patients with obesity.
