The short version
- The FDA-approved arsenal now spans a wide efficacy range of roughly 2.4% to 20.9% placebo-adjusted weight loss, depending on the medication.
- The options range from injectable GLP-1 and dual agonists to oral combinations and a lipase inhibitor, so the class is broad.
- The right choice depends on the patient's biology, tolerance, and goals rather than on a single best medication.
- Every option is a prescription for a reason, so the choice belongs with a provider rather than a comment section.
