The sole concern is that the slight risk of teratogenicity with topiramate therefore it's higher to use birth prevention whereas victimization topiramate/bupropionSR/naltrexoneSR. In weighty diabetics the GLP-1 receptor agonists like exenatide/liraglutide stay the medication of selection in combination with endocrine, whereas combination of lixisenatide and insulinglargine square measure within the pipeline for the long run.
