Drugs to be used in the treatment of obesity are not suitable for mildly and moderately obese people. It is of great importance that the safety of the drugs used be determined, that they have an effect in accordance with the etiology that causes obesity, that they do not have significant side effects in the short and long term, that they do not cause addiction, and that such drugs must be used under the advice and control of a physician. In order for obesity treatment to be successful, the patient must agree to continue diet therapy and exercise therapy in addition to drug therapy, and perform regular check-ups.
