Lorcaserin and phentermine-topiramate help people lose weight?

Lorcaserin and phentermine-topiramate are prescription medications that assist in weight loss by targeting different mechanisms in the body. Lorcaserin works as a serotonin receptor agonist, promoting feelings of fullness and reducing appetite. In contrast, phentermine-topiramate combines a stimulant and an anticonvulsant, which together help suppress appetite and increase feelings of satiety. Both medications are typically used in conjunction with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity for optimal weight loss results.
