Core Tip	Obesity is a chronic disease which requires treatment. As lifestyle interventions alone hardly ever result in long-term weight loss, pharmacotherapy is an important adjunct to lifestyle measures to improve the induction and maintenance of weight loss. This study reviews the current medications approved by European Medicines Agency and United States Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of obesity, focusing essentially on their benefits and risks, as well on the new drugs under clinical trials. An original algorithm for assessment and treatment of overweight and obese patients in clinical practice was also developed.
