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:
- Slowing Gastric Emptying: This helps you feel full longer, reducing calorie intake without the feeling of deprivation.
- Appetite Control & Reduced Cravings: These medications signal your brain when you’re full, reducing hunger and cravings so you can make healthier food choices.
Medication Breakdown
Semaglutide (Wegovy, Ozempic, Rybelsus)

- Weight Loss Potential: Clinical studies show an average weight loss of 22.5%.
