Overview
This presentation will provide the prescriber with the latest evidence-based strategies for anti-obesity medications. This will include an overview of FDA-approved medications and those in the pipeline. A review of obesogenic medications will be included with possible alternatives.

Objectives
- Identify current FDA approved medication for the treatment of obesity.
- Describe obesity medication profiles including indication, contraindications, common side effects and practical considerations.
- Utilize guidelines for selecting an anti-obesity medication.
- List obesity medications in the pipeline.
- Recognizing obesogenic medications and possible alternatives.
