Key points
- Weight management is a long-term process that can involve different levels of support, not medicine alone.
- Clinical assessment looks at weight-related health conditions and other factors that can affect a person’s weight.
- Medicine, when used, sits within a broader, reviewed weight-management plan rather than standing alone.
- Mysimba is a tablet combining naltrexone with bupropion, while Xenical is a capsule containing orlistat alone.
