PDF icon Program Packet - The Weight of Pharmacotherapy.pdf

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s 2020 Adult Obesity Prevalence Map lists Alabama as one of 16 states with an adult obesity prevalence at or above 35%. Dating back to 2013, there are recommendations from the AHA/ACC/TOS. There have also been practical guidelines from the Endocrine Society and the AACE/ACE that provide specific recommendations for pharmacotherapy agents that were available at the time of publication of the guidelines in 2015/2016. More recently published guidelines, including those from the Obesity Medicine Association, recognize obesity as a disease and the importance of medical management. All of these evidence-based clinical practice recommendations are commonly utilized to provide comprehensive management for persons of higher weight. Key updates to the management of obesity, will be highlighted in the session. Over the last ten years, the FDA-approved pharmacotherapy options for weight loss have expanded and there are now 5 options approved for long-term use. The benefits and safety considerations of these agents in management of persons of higher weight will be highlighted. Pharmacists are faced with trying to keep up with the new clinical practice guidelines, data, and new medications and being ready to apply it to patient cases. A variety of cases in patients with comorbidities that can impact management of higher weight will be presented to the attendees. Discussion of the best option for the management of the patient cases will be reviewed based on the evidence presented.
