Novità sulle terapie farmacologiche per l’obesità pediatrica
摘要
Pharmacotherapy for paediatric obesity is a rapidly evolving field. In Italy, the medications available for adolescents are semaglutide and liraglutide, which have shown significant efficacy, despite having some limitations, such as the lack of long-term data, gastrointestinal side effects, the risk of rebound after discontinuation and the cost for the families. Setmelanotide is only used for certain specific conditions. Other medications are currently being studied.
