Description
1,6,7 Insulin requires multiple daily injections, can lead to weight gain, and carries the risk of hypoglycemia, which causes significant morbidity

Over the 20th century, additional treatments were developed and FDA approved for treatment of overweight and obesity, including phentermine, phentermine/topiramate, orlistat, and naltrexone/bupropion

They reduce food intake by binding to nerve cells in the brain and by slowing the emptying of the stomach (which creates a sensation of fullness)

DPP-4 inhibitors, GLP-1 receptor agonists, and SGLT-2 inhibitors are included as options for combination therapy with metformin for patients who require dual therapy to meet glycemic goals
