About Our Medications
Many treatments are available to help with your weight loss journey. Learn more about some of the medications we use below.
Phentermine HCl
Phentermine, an amphetamine-like prescription medication used to suppress appetite, can aid in weight loss by decreasing hunger and making you feel full longer. If you’re overweight, Phentermine might be a good option for you. Phentermine is intended to be used as part of an overall weight-loss plan including healthy eating and physical activity, much like other weight-loss medications. It has been proven effective for short-term weight loss when used alongside a reduced-calorie diet and exercise.
Qsymia
Qsymia is a prescription medicine that contains phentermine and topiramate extended-release and clinically proven to help patients lose weight and inches off their waist. Qsymia can help you take control of the hunger and cravings you struggle with. It has been proven effective for short-term weight loss when used alongside a reduced-calorie diet and exercise.
Mounjaro/Tirzepatide
It is finally here, Mounjaro is the newest drug on the market. It can be categorized as the same class as Ozempic/ Wegovy (semiglutide), but has a compound built in to it to make it more effective and strengthen the effects for weightloss. How Mounjaro (Tirzepatide) works is by reducing blood sugar levels by increasing the insulin production and lowering sugar levels in your liver. It also slows down how food passes through your body which makes you feel full longer. Mounjaro is the first dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist, which means it works on the glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptors and the glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptors. We are excited to offer Mounjaro as it is the first of its kind that targets the two major hormones that regulate blood sugar levels and can help patients lose weight.
GLP-1 – Semaglutide (Ozempic/Wegovy)
Semaglutide is a glucagon-like peptide (GLP-1) analog approved in 2017 as a treatment method for improving glycemic control in patients with Type 2 diabetes. Semaglutide shows great promise for patients who are having difficulty losing weight. Studies have demonstrated that Semaglutide reduced appetite, improved control of eating, and reduced food cravings in addition to improved glycemic control. The greatest weight loss benefits were observed when Semaglutide is used in combination with lifestyle changes, such as improved diet and consistent exercise.
Sermorelin & Naltrexone
Naltrexone is used to help reduce feelings of hunger, curbs appetite, provides enhanced fat burning and weight loss, and mental clarity. Sermorelin stimulates the body’s own growth hormone levels, aiding in faster recovery from workouts, and helping restore the body’s natural sleep cycle.
