Slimming pills recently approved by the US Food and Drug Administration, such as Ozempic and Manjaro, are some of the best-known drugs in the field and can help improve results after knee replacement. Many patients are not overweight enough to require bariatric surgeries, and on the other hand, they are unable to walk or exercise due to knee pain, so strict diets are also difficult for them. For this reason, the use of these drugs has been proposed as a major development in the treatment of overweight.

The important point is that the use of these drugs should be done under the supervision of an endocrinologist or a nutritionist, with a proper dose and in the long term. One of the main advantages of these drugs over weight loss surgery is that they do not cause malnutrition, but only reduce food intake. According to the available scientific data, patients can undergo joint replacement while taking these drugs, while after bariatric surgery, the patient's metabolic condition must be stabilized. In our clinic, overweight patients are introduced to use these drugs.
