Q. For how long do I need to take weight-loss
pills?
The answer depends upon whether the medication
helps you to lose and maintain weight and whether you have any side effects.
Because obesity is a chronic disease, any treatment, whether drug or nondrug,
may need to be continued for years, and perhaps a lifetime, to improve
health and maintain a healthy weight. There is little information on how
safe and effective weight-loss medications are for many years of use.
