The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s 2022 Adult Obesity Prevalence Map lists Alabama as one of 19 states with an adult obesity prevalence at or above 35%. Recent survey data indicates that 1 in 8 adults in the United States have used a GLP-1 RA at some point in their life and approximately 15 million people – are currently using a GLP-1 RA. Recommendations and guidelines that provide guidance to clinicians regarding obesity management have been published by AHA/ACC/TOS, the Endocrine Society, and AACE/ACE. More recently published guidelines, including those from the Obesity Medicine Association and the American Gastroenterologic Association, recognize obesity as a disease and the importance of medical management. 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 twelve years, the FDA-approved pharmacotherapy options for weight loss have expanded and there are now 6 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.
