Halford, Jason - Abstract:
- Pharmacotherapy for obesity, as an adjunct to targeted behavioural modifications, can facilitate weight loss. Previous serotonergic candidates have been withdrawn owing to undesirable cardiovascular effects. A new study in a large sample of high-risk patients shows lorcaserin treatment leads to no greater increase in cardiovascular problems than placebo — what does this result mean for personalized pharmacotherapy for obesity?
