<p>Importing a new version from external source</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>In a clinical practice guideline by the [[American College of Physicians]], the following five recommendations are made:<br /> # People with a BMI of over 30 should be counseled on diet, exercise and other relevant behavioral interventions, and set a realistic goal for weight loss.<br /> # If these goals are not achieved, pharmacotherapy can be offered. The person needs to be informed of the possibility of [[Adverse effect (medicine)|side-effects]] and the unavailability of long-term safety and efficacy data.<br /> # Drug therapy may consist of [[sibutramine]], [[orlistat]], [[phentermine]], [[diethylpropion]], [[fluoxetine]], and [[bupropion]]. Evidence is not sufficient to recommend [[sertraline]], [[topiramate]], or [[zonisamide]].<br /> # In people with a BMI over 40 who fail to achieve their weight loss goals (with or without medication) and who develop obesity-related complications, referral for [[bariatric surgery]] may be indicated. The person needs to be aware of the potential complications.<br /> # Those requiring bariatric surgery should be referred to high-volume referral centers, as the evidence suggests that surgeons who frequently perform these procedures have fewer complications.</div>
