Obesity: managing comorbidities of the disease
Journal of the American Pharmaceutical Association (Washington, D.C. : 1996)
|October 13, 2000
Abstract:
Obesity poses a serious health risk and is associated with a wide range of comorbid conditions. Obese patients with comorbid conditions such as type 2 diabetes and hypertension should be educated about the potential benefits of weight loss therapy. Pharmacists can offer consultative weight loss programs either on their own or by forming multidisciplinary teams with other practitioners, such as dietitians.
