Dickerson LM et al. - The long-term safety of many antiobesity pharmacologic regimens has not been adequately evaluated. If recommended and prescribed, pharmacologic agents should be an adjunct to a structured diet and exercise regimen. Unfortunately, weight gain after discontinuation of antiobesity agents is common. In addition, the effect of weight loss obtained through the use of pharmacotherapeutic agents on overall morbidity and mortality has not been established.
