We have finally finished going over lifestyle factors for obesity and mental health and will start talking about medications. Today I start with medications that you should be considering first line, including phentermine and several others that you are probably less familiar with like diethylpropion, phendimetrazine, and benzphetamine. I will talk about the amphetamines that have been used for weight loss as well as ones like Vyvanse that are currently used. I will also talk about fenfluramine and its connection to phentermine and also sibutrimine which was taken off the market. A lot of interesting history and pharmacology in here as well as details on how to use some of the most important medications for obesity!
