DAWN (Drug-Assisted Weight Normalization): Normalizing the Pursuit for Health - PP39-40
Obesity is accepted as a disease by professional organizations across the world. The rise in its prevalence has been matched
by enhanced understanding of its causation, clinical trajectory as well as complications. Endocrinologists are now able to
treat obesity with a variety of interventions, including behavioral, dietary, oral, injectable, invasive, and surgical therapies.
In this manuscript, we describe highly effective antiobesity medications available for weight loss.
