Sammanfattning

In contrast to the astonishing development of effective drugs for the treatment of many common clinical conditions, pharmacotherapy of obesity has never become a success. Several compounds, initially promising, have eventually had to be withdrawn when unacceptable side effects were identified. At present only orlistat is available for long term therapy. Numerous attempts are being made to identify modes of action, which could be developed into modern drugs, but so far no really promising candidate is upcoming within a foreseeable future.
