Review of Pharmacologic Weight Loss Medications in a Patient-Centered Medical Home.

Per the Centers for Disease Control, 78 million adults were classified as obese in the United States in 2009 to 2010. Lifestyle modifications and pharmacologic treatment are appropriate options to combat obesity. The primary objective of the study was to assess change in body weight after 12 weeks in patients seen at a family medicine patient-centered medical home (PCMH) who were prescribed Food and Drug Administration-approved weight loss medications.
