Obesity Flashcards
Learn basic weightloss management medicine and techniques
Contrave (wellbutrin/naltrexone) dosing
90mg/8mg
Ramp up weekly 1 tab po qam, 1 tab po bid, 2 tabs qam and 1 po qpm, 2 tabs po bid
Contrave contraindications
- seizure disorder
- opiate use
- uncontrolled HTN
- within 14 days of MAOIs
- caution is current alcohol or bzd use
Contrave actions
Good if food cravings and addictive behavior, depression, smoking cessation,
other substance cessation
Liraglutide (saxenda) dosing
- GLP-1 agonist
- 5-10% wt loss
Victoza dose for dm2 only up to 1.8 mg
Saxenda dose is 3 mg (studies haven’t been done to assess cardiovascular
prevention)
• Start at 0.6 mg and go up by 0.6 mg weekly up to 3 mg, but many
people can’t always do the full titration due to SEs
D/c if <4% body weight after 16 weeks at 3 mg
Liraglutide contraindications
pancreatitis, family or PH medullary thyroid cancer (MEN-2)
Lorcaserin dosing
No generic, so more costly
- can get up to 10% wt loss
- start 10 mg ER before dinner
- 10 mg bid or 20 mg ER daily
- stop if <5% wt loss at 12 wks
Lorcaserin SEs
HA, dizziness, fatigue, nausea, dry mouth, constipation
though SEs low with this medication
Lorcaserin contraindications
- Theoretic risk of valvulopathy (prior seen in Phen-phen), but not same receptor
affinity as lorcaserin - Risk for serotonergic over-activity, avoid prescribing with other serotonergic
agents
Qysmia (phentermine/topamax) dosing
- if dosing separately, give phentermine in AM and topamax 1 hr prior to dinner (helps with nighttime eating)
- Start 3.75 for 2 weeks then 7.5 for 1 month, then may escalate up each
month
• 3.75 is considered acclimation dose, not the one that really achieves weight loss. Some may benefit from it as maintenance though
• 7.5/46 is considered normal maintenance dose, most people achieve
weight there. Higher doses are for people not losing weight
▪ Stop if not 5% weight loss after 12 weeks on maximum dose
Qysmia contraindications
uncontrolled HTN, CAD, glaucoma, nephrolithiasis,
insomnia, anxiety, okay if well-controlled HTN with close monitoring
Qysmia SEs
dry mouth, paresthesia, constipation, abn taste in mouth, insomnia, glaucoma
- metabolic acidosis
- elevated Cr
▪ Gradual escalation of doses, helps minimize SEs

Food goes into system and causes:
- inc release GLP-1 and GIP
- GLP-1 inactivated to DPP-4 (GLP-1 agonists help to resist degradation)
- acts on brain to dec appetite and inc satiety
- acts on pancreas to dec glucagon and inc insulin
- acts on stomach to dec gastric emptying and inc nausea
- acts on fat tissue to dec fat mass and improve adipose function
- insulin and glucagon acts on m to inc glucose uptake
- glucagon and insulin act on liver to dec glucose production
oxyntomodulin agent pathway
released by L-cells in the ileum and colon:
- activates GLP-1 receptors
- activates glucagon rec
- gluc raising of glucagon counteracted by gluc lowering of GLP-1 for net dec in glucose levels
- act on brain to dec appetite and inc satiety
- act on pancreas to inc insulin
- act on stomach to dec gastric emptying, dec ghrelin, and inc N/V
- act on fat to dec fat mass, inc lipolysis and inc adiponectin
- cause inc uptake glucose in m and dec prod in liver
peptide YY pathway
Released by L-cells in ileum and colon
- structurally similar to NPY and PP
- circulate in 1-36 and 3-36 form
- inhibti NPY neurons
- act on brain to dec appetite and inc satiety
- act on pancrease to inc insulin, dec proliferation of beta cells, and dec apoptosis of beta cells
- act on stomach to dec gastric emptying and inc N/V
- act on fat to dec fat mass
- inc glucose uptake in m and dec gluc production in liver
neuropeptide YY (NPYY) pathway
Made in response to fasting
- orexigenic
- most abundant peptide in CNS
- act on brain to inc appetite, dec stress/anxiety and pain
- act on SNS to inc vasoconstriction
- act on fat to promote fat storage
SGLT-2 inhibitor pathway
- dec proximal renal tubule glucose reabsorption
- dec GI gluc absorption
- dec body wt and glucose levels
- doesn’t cause inc in insulin, so go into fasting/starvation ketone state
- inc FFA to liver to make ketones
- restrictive carb diet with this may worsen ketoacidosis

delayed tx for obesity

o Dec length of sleep
o Intestinal bacterial changes
o Medications
o Older maternal age
o Fertility treatments
o Hypothalamic injury from calorie overload leads to resistance to leptin and shift up in “weight setpoint”
survival and BMI
o BMI 30-35 survival decreased by 2-4 yrs
o BMI 40-45 survival decreased by 8-10 yrs
o Abdominal obesity has higher risk for cardiovascular risk and all-cause mortality

types interpersonal bias
- like structural
- media
- personal views about others
intrapersonal bias
- bias against yourself
bias towards obesity
- viewed more negatively than other minority groups
- even in those treating obesity
- people who have lost weight on own tend to be more critical and less compassionate.
how to talk about obesity
- ask permission
- open-ended questions
- focus on behaviors and successes, not just weight
- focus on health
- realistic expectations
- make changes for whole family
amount of people who regain weight
75-80% in 2 yrs
Wt loss and set-pt
- the more weight we gain, the higher our set point and what our body defends
- when lose wt, need to restrict even more to maintain that wt as opposed to naturally thin people
- metabolism dec to try to burn less calories
- doesn’t change even if maintain that wt for years
interventions to help maintain wt loss
- resistance training (helps dec m efficiency and burn more calories)
crown like structure in fat tissue
- macrophages and T-cells around single adipocyte
- higher amts linked to worse vascular outcomes
% wt loss and health outcomes
- 5% wt loss can improve glycemic control
- >10% needed to improve inflammation and metabolic function
obesity and addiction to food
- get down regulation of dopamine due to chronic exposure
- may cause inc over-eating to compensate for the dec reward pathway
Edmonton obesity staging system (EOSS)
- puts patient in stages 0-4
- based on medical, mental, and functional complications
stopping qysmia
- need to taper off higher doses due to topamax
realistic wt loss goals
- up to 2 lb/wk
- up to 10% baseline TBW
maintaining wt
- after wt loss, still need to restrict calories and inc activity to maintain
- recommend >250 min/wk mod intensity exercise
- want to dec calories, but inc quality (low energy dense foods)
Calorie reduction for wt loss
- females 1200-1500 kcal/d
- males 1500-1800 kcal/day
- dec total intake by 500-750 kcal/d
CBT in wt loss
