FDA-Approved Prescription Weight Loss Medications

Are you struggling to lose weight despite diet and exercise? Our center offers FDA-approved prescription weight loss medications designed to help you achieve sustainable weight loss without the need for bariatric surgery.

Effective Prescription Weight Loss Medications

We prescribe the following FDA-approved weight loss medications:

• Wegovy (semaglutide)
• Ozempic (semaglutide)
• Mounjaro (tirzepatide)
• Zepbound (tirzepatide)

If traditional weight loss methods have left you feeling deprived and frustrated, these game-changing anti-obesity medications may be the solution you’ve been looking for.

Who Can Benefit from Prescription Weight Loss Medications?

You may be a candidate for FDA-approved weight loss medication if:

• You have a BMI of 30 or greater.
• You have a BMI of 27 or more with a weight-related health condition such as diabetes or high blood pressure.

How These Medications Work

Our weight loss medications belong to a class known as GLP-1 receptor agonists, which help regulate appetite and support long-term weight management. These medications work in two key ways:

1. Slowing Gastric Emptying: This helps you feel full longer, reducing calorie intake without the feeling of deprivation.
2. Appetite Control & Reduced Cravings: These medications signal your brain when you’re full, reducing hunger and cravings so you can make healthier food choices.
