Focus on obesity drug treatments

The management of obesity is changing dramatically with the emergence of new drug treatments. Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists are approved for this indication in Switzerland, and approval is currently being sought for a GLP-1 and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypetide (GIP) co-agonist. Reimbursement conditions are restrictive, and patients are given only one opportunity to achieve the weight loss required for continued reimbursement. The popularity of these treatments has led to worldwide stock-outs for several months now, and it is essential that prescribers respect the indications so as not to prejudice obese patients. This article provides a review of the treatments available and the conditions under which they are reimbursed, as well as those that should be reimbursed soon.
