Hi,
Welcome to HCM!
I understand your concern.
Yes, there are some drugs available to reduce weight/obesity.
Weight loss medicines include orlistat, phentermine, lorcaserin, and phenteramine plus topiramate.
However, these drugs alone will never be effective.
You have to have a right combination of these drugs, diet and exercises along with other activities like Yoga.
You might also want to rule out any cause of Obesity like Hypothyroidism or Diabetes.
Hope this information helps .Feel free to ask if you have any doubts.
With warm regards,
Dr. Sridhar Reddy
