Medication Guidelines - Contraindications - Regner Health Solutions



Certain medical conditions may contraindicate the use of weight loss drugs. These include, but are not limited to, uncontrolled hypertension, coronary artery disease, heart failure, cerebrovascular disease, hyperthyroidism, glaucoma, history of drug or alcohol abuse, and pregnancy. Individuals with these conditions may experience adverse effects or complications if weight loss drugs are prescribed. Situations that may deem weight loss drugs unsuitable include patients who are planning to become pregnant, breastfeeding mothers, or individuals with a history of psychiatric disorders. Weight loss drugs can potentially harm the fetus or be passed through breast milk, leading to undesirable effects. Additionally, several medications may interact with weight loss drugs, making their use unsafe. Drugs such as monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), and other antidepressants can have severe interactions with weight loss drugs, leading to potentially life-threatening conditions.
