Weight Loss Medications

The medication semaglutide (Wegovy) received FDA approval for treatment of obesity in 2021. More common prescription weight loss drugs which have been in use longer include: Liraglutide, bupropion/naltrexone (contrave) , phentermine- multiple doses , Phentermine-Topiramate combination (Qysmia), and other GLP-1 agonist or GIP/GLP-1 agonists. Newer drugs will be revealed in 2023.

We will customize a medication program that suits your needs. Every medication has a mechanism for its help with weight loss. In addition, they all have various side-effect profiles.

Tirzepatide (Mounjaro) which is approved for use in T2DM can also help you lose weight with dual actions similar to GLP1 Agonists.
