Medication Assisted Weight Management Program
In this plan, we incorporate FDA-approved anti-obesity medications. These medications can be a safe and effective tool when combined with our comprehensive lifestyle modification counseling, which includes personalized nutrition, behavior changes and exercise recommendation. Examples of FDA-approved medications that are used include Wegovy, Saxenda, Qsymia, Contrave and Zepbound.
Using anti-obesity medications in conjunction with a physician- supervised nutritional plan has been shown to result in significantly greater weight loss than either diet or medication alone. These medications also help patients maintain their weight loss, making them a valuable long-term solution for weight management.
It is important to note that medication alone will not lead to sustained weight loss. Regular follow-up visits for medical monitoring, accountability and ongoing support are essential for success. A detailed evaluation performed by one of our obesity medicine physician specialists will ensure an individualized approach tailored to your needs.
