Like many other chronic diseases, obesity involves a complex number of physiological changes that impact its progression and management as a disease. Consequently, losing weight and maintaining a weight loss is often challenging. In this session we will be discussing different weight loss medications available in Canada, their mechanism of action, potential benefits, side effects, and how to utilize them in conjunction with healthy lifestyle interventions to optimize weight loss efforts. Individuals looking to learn more about pharmacotherapy options for obesity management are encouraged to attend. This special topic is led by our internist, Dr. Jacek Cieslak and open for all patients; however, if you have previously attended the medications & bariatric surgery group, you may find the content a bit repetitive.
