Abstract Importance  Obesity affects approximately 19% of women and 14% of men worldwide and is associated with increased morbidity. Antiobesity medications (AOMs) modify biological processes that affect appetite and significantly improve outcomes, such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and dyslipidemia. Observations  AOMs should be administered in combination with lifestyle interventions and can be classified according to their mechanisms of action.
