Summary

This study tests whether a combination of two medications, phentermine and topiramate, can help teenagers with severe obesity avoid regaining weight after losing it. About 100 teens aged 12 to 18 will first follow a meal replacement plan to lose weight, then take either the medication or a placebo. The goal is to see if the drug can counteract the body's natural tendency to regain weight and improve overall health.
