Abstract
The field of obesity pharmacotherapy is in its infancy. While these drugs represent new tools to use to help patients in chronic obesity management, we need an educated and more experienced group of prescribers. Only then can we have a meaningful impact on the chronic disease risk driven by obesity. Understanding the basic principles of using obesity medication is the first step in that direction.
