About Anti-Obesity Drug Discovery and Development
Obesity, is widely recognised as the largest and fastest growing public health problem in the developed and developing world. Although prevention through education and changes to the obesogenic environment are long-term goals, treatment is required for those who are already obese. Surprisingly, however, treatment options remain quite limited. The main treatment modalities for overweight and obese individuals remain dieting and physical exercise. However some patients find that diet and exercise is not a viable option; for these patients, anti-obesity drugs can be a better alternative than surgery. The pharmacological management of obesity is therefore an exciting option. New treatments are essentially on the horizon, and novel research strategies have very recently come to the fore. This event will discuss the development of therapeutic agents that may reduce body weight by decreasing the consumption or absorption of food, and/or by increasing energy expenditure. This is an ideal forum to exchange views, learn about treatments on the horizon and network with the experts.
