What you'll learn

  2. Discuss/formulate plans to approach pharmacologic weight loss systematically

  3. Recognize the side effects for commonly used medications for weight loss


Webinar description

Obesity continues to increase in prevalence nationwide, resulting in the worsening of other disease states, such as heart failure, diabetes, and cardiovascular events. Studies have shown a reduction in weight can lead to fewer cardiovascular events and decrease the risk of complications associated with co-morbid conditions. Over the past years, there has been progress in the use of medications to assist patients in losing weight. However, the guidelines have lagged in adding these agents and where they may fit in therapy. Because of this, there are many healthcare professionals that do not realize the options for weight loss, when to utilize them, and most importantly,how they should be used as an adjunct to non-pharmacologic management strategies.

This activity reviews all the pharmacologic options in the US market that aid patients in losing weight. It will discuss where medications may fit in therapy, who would benefit from each medication based on a patient-centered care approach. It will also discuss the risks associated with the use. In addition, non-pharmacologic options and its roles in a holistic care plan for weight loss will be included.

I really loved this information. I was hospitalized last year for almost a month and I noticed multiple medical errors (not being hooked up to my IV multiple times, given wrong medication which caused my sodium to be very low, etc.) which lengthened my stay. I can now define those exact errors and better understand what happened to me. I hate that these medical errors are so common and I appreciate how well laid out your breakdown and categorization of them was.
