Medical Weight Loss

Medical weight loss through prescription medications can be used to treat obesity in overweight adults in a variety of ways. Some medications will make you feel full sooner or less hungry, reducing the amount of food consumed daily. Other medications will change how your body absorbs fat from foods, successfully helping you lose fat.

These medications are typically reserved for medically obese or overweight people who may be experiencing health problems due to their weight. Your provider will conduct a thorough medical history before prescribing.
