Weight Loss Medication
Zepbound is a once-weekly prescription injectable medication that combines two hormones: GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide- 1) and GIP (glucose-dependent insulinoptropic polypeptide) to help manage chronic weight in adults with obesity. It stimulates insulin production which lowers blood sugar, delays gastric emptying which slows the time that the stomach empties, and slows intestinal motility which leads to a feeling of fullness. Zepbound is combined with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity to help manage weight -related medical problems by helping individuals lose excess body weight and keep the weight off.
Contrave is a prescription oral medication that combines two medications (naltrexone and bupropion) that work together to curb hunger by regulating the feeling of pleasure when eating and helps to control cravings. This increases satiety (feeling full) to help you lose weight. Contrave is combined with a reduced calorie diet and regular activity to help manage weight- related medical problems by helping individuals with obesity lose excess body weight and keep the weight off.
Wegovy is a once-weekly prescription injectable medication that is a GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) mimicker that is used to help manage chronic weight in adults with obesity. It helps to reduce appetite, increase feelings of fullness and helps with long term weight loss. It also helps reduce the risk of major cardiovascular events such as death, heart attack, or stroke in adults with known heart disease and with either obesity or overweight. Wegovy is combined with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity to help manage weight -related medical problems by helping individuals lose excess body weight and keep the weight off.
Phentermine (ionamin)is an oral appetite suppressant that decreases hunger and cravings by increasing brain neurotransmitter signals and works like a stimulant by increasing energy levels to aid in your weight loss efforts and should be used in combination with a healthy diet and routine exercise.
Qsymia is once daily prescription oral medication that combines two medications (phentermine and topiramate) that work well together to decrease appetite, increase energy level, and increase satiety (feeling full) to aid in your weight loss efforts. Qsymia is combined with a reduced calorie diet and regular activity to help manage weight- related medical problems by helping individuals with obesity lose excess body weight and keep the weight off.
Diethylpropion (Tenuate) is an oral appetite suppressant that can decrease hunger and cravings by increasing brain neurotransmitter signals and works like a stimulant by increasing energy levels to aid in your weight loss efforts. Although similar from phentermine their chemical structure is different and is therefore a possible alternative to phentermine. It should be used in combination with a healthy diet and routine exercise.
