  • Title: Currently available drugs for the treatment of obesity: Sibutramine and orlistat.
    Author: Chaput JP, St-Pierre S, Tremblay A.
    Journal: Mini Rev Med Chem; 2007 Jan; 7(1):3-10. PubMed ID: 17266632.
    Abstract:
    The currently available drugs for long-term treatment of obesity are sibutramine and orlistat. They have been shown to be able to induce significant weight loss, with important co-morbidity reduction, allowing the maintenance of reduced body weight for at least 1-2 years. Cardiostimulating and gastrointestinal adverse effects are however not negligible.
