Abstract: The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that about 4 million people die each year from diseases caused by being overweight. In addition, obesity is an aggravating factor for other diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes and even some types of cancer. The objective is to analyze the off-label use of metformin and fluoxetine for weight loss. It is an integrative review, a scientific research method that allows the synthesis of multiple published studies and allows general conclusions about a particular area of study. Reflections on the use of off-label drugs in the treatment of obesity are of interest to all parties involved in the process, including regulators, physicians, patients and the pharmaceutical field. During obesity treatment, drug surveillance operations were performed to monitor this practice. Therefore, this is expected to contribute to the discussion of off-label drug treatment of obesity.
