Ok. Have to ask (mostly rhetorical):
Are you reserving these drugs for the morbidly obese, or are they being dispensed to the ‘merely’ obese?
As well, what is the maximum term of treatment, or is it open-ended?
right now the use for obesity is off label so there are no real guidelines how obese one is to use it. Treatment is open ended. It appears that if the med is stopped altogether weight cones back. It may be a smaller dose is necessary indefinitely to maintain the weight loss, which would make sense since we are treating metabolic syndrome. You cannot stop blood pressure medications once your blood pressure is normalized on medication. The disease is controlled not cured unfortunately
