With this study, we're looking at how prescription medication, in combination with exercise and lifestyle modification, can help overweight children achieve a healthy weight. The study will evaluate how children and teenagers are affected by weight loss medication that is FDA-approved for adults. Participants will receive nutrition, exercise and behavioral counseling throughout the course of the study. Individuals typically are considered overweight if they weigh 30 to 100 pounds more than the average weight for their height and age. All research procedures, including evaluations and study medications, will be provided at no cost.
All calls are confidential.
