Phentermine + Topiramate

Phentermine is an FDA-approved prescription medication that's been approved as a short-term appetite suppressant to help individuals manage obesity. Phentermine has been on the market since the 1950s and works by telling your brain that you are not hungry. Topiramate is a medication that prevents migraine headaches and, when paired with Phentermine, can help with weight loss.

Naltrexone + Bupropion (Contrave)

Naltrexone and Bupropion are sold under the brand name Contrave. They work together on the parts of your brain responsible for appetite control and the reward system to manage your food cravings. They can also help with anxiety and smoking cessation.

Acarbose

Acarbose is an anti-diabetic, cardio-protective, weight loss, and possible anti-aging agent. It prevents carbohydrates from being absorbed and consequently reduces your calorie intake.

Orlistat

Orlistat is sold under several brand names, including Xenical. Orlistat is a medication that's used to treat obesity. It prevents the absorption of fats from the human diet by acting as a lipase inhibitor, which reduces caloric intake.

Peptides

Prestige Weight Loss Clinic uses cutting-edge peptides to help improve your metabolism, increase lean muscle, and provide anti-aging benefits. They use different peptides that control burning fat and stimulate metabolic function.

What is weight loss medication?

Weight loss medications are prescription drugs that help people lose weight. These medications work by making you feel less hungry, fill up faster, or reduce fat absorption from the food you eat (decreasing calorie absorption).

Despite what many commercial weight-loss programs proclaim, weight loss is hard. Yes, you need to eat less and move more, but calories aren’t the only thing you need to change to reach your goal weight.

Creating new eating and lifestyle habits is essential to losing weight and keeping it off. Hunger and food cravings make it hard to stick to a diet. Weight loss medication curbs your appetite and the urge to eat high-fat, high-sugar foods, making it easier for you to make the lifestyle changes that lead to long-term weight management.

Am I a candidate for weight loss medication?

The team at Prestige Weight Loss Clinic determines if you’re a candidate for weight loss medication after your initial consultation.

They may recommend weight loss medication if you're an adult with a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher or you have a BMI of 27 or higher with weight-related health problems like diabetes or high blood pressure.

The team may start with nutritional management and a specialized exercise plan before prescribing weight loss medication. They may suggest these prescription medications if you struggle to lose weight with diet and exercise.

You must continue to follow your nutrition program and exercise plan when taking weight loss medication to get results.

How long do I take weight loss medication?

How long you take weight loss medication depends. If the drugs help you lose weight and keep it off and cause no serious side effects, the team at Prestige Weight Loss Clinic may recommend you continue on the medication indefinitely.

If you fail to lose at least 5% of your weight after 12 weeks of taking the weight loss medication, the team may discontinue the prescription and suggest other methods for helping you reach your weight goals.

Weight loss medication can help you lose weight and keep it off. Find out how it might benefit you by calling Prestige Weight Loss Clinic or scheduling an appointment online today.
