When a patient may have less weight to lose in general, or they are reluctant to be on longer-term medication, phentermine can be a good option, says Vukasinov

Potential benefits being investigated include: Cognitive performance : Some small-scale human studies have shown mixed results on cognitive tasks among participants receiving GLP-1 receptor agonists, with no consistent pattern of improvement established in randomised trials to date Cognitive decline : Observational data from diabetes cohorts suggest that patients prescribed GLP-1 agents may experience different rates of cognitive deterioration compared to those on other diabetes medications, though causality cannot be established Dementia risk : Population-based studies have indicated a possible association between GLP-1 receptor agonist use and dementia diagnoses, though these findings require confirmation in prospective trials Neuroimaging markers : Early research is examining potential effects on brain structure and function, but definitive evidence of preservation of brain volume has not been established Important limitations and considerations: Limited human trial data : Most evidence comes from animal models or observational studies
