Are there actually any weight loss medications for children? My neighbor's son is obese, and she says the endocrinologist isn't prescribing anything. So I started wondering: are there any shots or pills that kids can take?
Who exactly was drinking it? And why was it prescribed?

Have you tried adjusting the feeding? Why go straight for shots?

I'm also curious if these trendy weight-loss injections are okay for kids. I haven't heard of them being prescribed for children yet.

Depends on the age and how severe the obesity is, and health conditions. I think doctors won't prescribe injections unnecessarily either.

Pills are unlikely, only as part of treating a condition, like for the thyroid or digestive system. Basically, diet + physical activity.

So, my son has a weight issue. We went to an endocrinologist, and she said that if the tests confirm it, she'll prescribe thyroxine or Euthyrox (by the way, I take these hormones myself). But there are no hormonal problems with the child. It's something else.

Regulate your nutrition and exercise, if you don't have any health issues
