Obesity – Current Treatment – Treatment Algorithms: Claims Data Analysis – Obesity / Overweight (US)
As the prevalence of obesity rises, the demand for safe and effective treatments increases. Therapies mimicking GLP-1 and GIP peptides—hormones that regulate appetite and energy metabolism—have set new standards in weight-loss drugs. Led by Novo Nordisk’s Wegovy (semaglutide), these therapies are driving rapid growth of the obesity therapy market and are on a path to transform the therapeutic landscape. Wegovy and Eli Lilly’s Zepbound (tirzepatide) are the most advanced antiobesity therapies, offering significantly greater weight-loss efficacy than that of Novo Nordisk’s Saxenda. Older treatments such as phentermine, Contrave, Qsymia, and Xenical are also losing favor despite their lower costs. This report provides in-depth analysis and insight into how prescription weight-loss drugs are used to treat obesity and how medical practice is evolving.
