Prioritizing Use of Medications for Obesity

The focus on obesity medications should be on individuals with severe diseases like prediabetes, dyslipidemia, high blood pressure, fatty liver, or type two diabetes. Those with atherosclerotic disease or high levels of adiposity, despite early stages, should also be prioritized due to their high risk of complications. Misusing these medications for vanity weight loss purposes, such as shedding the last few pounds or for Hollywood standards, is not appropriate and undermines the significance of treating obesity as a disease.
