Obesity Medications - Orlistat (Alli/Xenical), Phentermine (Adipex), Liraglutide
(Saxenda), Semaglutide (Ozempic)

n/v
Phentermine (Adipex) - Amphetamine, anorexigenic; reduce appetite, cns effect
hypothalamus stimulation to release norepinephrine

disease
Phentermine (Adipex) Considerations - Dietary restrictions; Avoid: stimulants with
cardiac problems; Caution: hypertension, antidiabetic drugs, hypoglycemic drugs
Liraglutide (Saxenda) - Incretin mimetic, ↑ insulin secretion, ↓ glucagon secretion, delay
gastric emptying → ↓ postprandial glucose
, Liraglutide (Saxenda) Side/Adverse Effects - Thyroid c-cell tumors, acute pancreatitis,
acute gallbladder disease
Semaglutide (Ozempic) - Psychologically regulate appetite + caloric intake
Semaglutide (Ozempic) Side/Adverse Effects - Thyroid c-cell tumors, acute pancreatitis,
acute gallbladder disease

changes
