Optimizing the Efficacy of Anti-Obesity Medications: A Practical Guide to Personalizing Incretin-Based Therapies
摘要
The primary objective of this article is to conduct an in-depth exploration of the most recent advancements in incretin-based pharmacological interventions for obesity management, specifically focusing on glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and the dual GLP-1/glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptor agonists. In addition, this article also explores innovative strategies to enhance the effectiveness in abstract of anti-obesity treatments through the integration of individualized guidelines and lifestyle modifications.
Recent findingsPersonalized intensive lifestyle interventions can enhance weight loss and metabolic outcomes and facilitate weight loss maintenance in individuals with overweight/obesity treated with GLP-1 or dual GLP-1/GIP receptor agonists. Providers should discuss side effects, drug-induced weight gain, and coordinate with other specialists during management.
SummaryEmphasizing a comprehensive, patient-centered clinical algorithm underscores the critical need for a multifaceted approach to achieve effective weight management. This involves a combination of lifestyle interventions and the utilization of incretin-based therapy designed to address the complex and diverse obstacles associated with obesity and maintenance of weight loss.
