Abstract

Obesity is a chronic, multifactorial condition described as an abnormal or excessive buildup of body fat that endangers an individual's health. It is a huge global public health problem. Prednisone and anti-psychotic medicines are known to cause weight gain and obesity. In this era of precision medicine, it is critical to identify individuals who are most likely to gain weight as a result of pharmaceutical use. Hypoglycemic anti-diabetes medicines, psychotropic agents (atypical antipsychotics, antidepressants), anticonvulsant and mood stabilizer agents, and different hormones are the most regularly reported prescription groups that may cause weight gain. The obesity pandemic is multifaceted, but medication-induced weight gain may play a role. While doctors may aim to pick pharmacotherapies with the least detrimental influence on weight, the literature on the weight effects of medicine is frequently inadequate and empty of alternative treatments. Because of the devastating consequences of adolescents obesity, new therapies are desperately needed. Real-world data reveal that the majority of teenagers do not lose weight over time, and pharmacological therapy should be recommended.
