Understanding Prescription Medications for Weight Loss

Prescription medications for weight loss are designed to enhance your efforts to achieve a healthier weight. They work through mechanisms such as appetite suppression, metabolic enhancement, or fat absorption inhibition. These medications are generally prescribed for individuals with a BMI of 30 or above, or for those with a BMI of 27 or above who have obesity-related health conditions.

Weight Loss Prescriptions We Offer

  • Semaglutide: Originally used for managing type 2 diabetes, Semaglutide has shown remarkable efficacy in weight loss by mimicking the effects of GLP-1, reducing appetite and caloric intake.

  • Tirzepatide: As a dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and GLP-1 receptor agonist, Tirzepatide aids in appetite control, blood sugar regulation, and improving metabolic health.

  • Peptides: Peptides are short chains of amino acids that can regulate various physiological processes, including appetite, metabolism, and fat burning. Peptide therapies can be customized to enhance weight loss efforts and overall health.

Benefits and Considerations

Prescription medications for weight loss can offer significant benefits, such as improved weight loss outcomes compared to diet and exercise alone. However, they are not without considerations.
