Approved therapies for the management of obesity include:
A. Oral drug therapy
D. Bariatric surgery
Oral drug therapy and bariatric surgery can be prescribed and recommended for individuals with obesity as part of their treatment plan, in addition to dietary modifications and exercise. The other options listed (B. Liposuction, C. Insulin injection, and E. Laxative usage) are not typically considered primary treatments for obesity. Liposuction, for example, is a cosmetic procedure that removes fat from specific areas but is not a treatment for overall obesity. Insulin injection is used to manage diabetes, which can be associated with obesity but does not directly treat obesity itself. Laxative usage is not a recommended method for weight loss and can be harmful if misused.
