CHICAGO — Only 1%-3% of patients who have had bariatric surgery take Food and Drug Administration–approved antiobesity medications even though 25% of patients experience significant weight regain within a few years of surgery, according to a study presented at the annual Digestive Disease Week meeting.
And while antiobesity medications such as orlistat , phentermine/topiramate , naltrexone/bupropion , liraglutide , semaglutide , and setmelanotide , may be considered before bariatric surgery, there are questions about the need for its use after surgery. He found rates of postsurgical weight control medication use at 8% for topiramate , 2.9% for liraglutide, 1.03% for phentermine/topiramate, 0.95% for naltrexone/bupropion, 0.52% for semaglutide and 0.1% for orlistat. Rates of topiramate use were higher for patients in the 35- 39-year range, and for orlistat and liraglutide in the 65- to 69-year range.
