About Medical Weight Loss
Am I a candidate?
Medical weight loss may suit adults whose weight affects their health. Prescription medication is often considered at a BMI of 30 or more, or 27 or more with a weight-related condition such as high blood pressure. It is not right for everyone, including people who are pregnant or breastfeeding. Your provider decides after a medical review.
How it works
- Consultation. Your provider reviews your health history, medications and goals, and records your starting weight.
- Lab work. Your provider may request labs before you start.
- Your plan. If medication is appropriate, your provider explains the options and your starting dose, with nutrition and activity guidance.
- Starting treatment. Our team shows you how to give your weekly injection at home.
- Follow-up visits. We check your progress and side effects and adjust your dose as needed.
Weight loss questions
Your provider reviews your health history, current medications and goals, then recommends whether a medication is appropriate and which one.
Both are weekly injections that help lower appetite. Semaglutide acts on one hormone receptor, GLP-1. Tirzepatide acts on two, GIP and GLP-1.
Cost depends on the medication and dose. Your provider goes over pricing at your consultation, before you commit to anything.
Your provider may request lab work before you start, depending on your health history.
Tirzepatide and semaglutide commonly cause nausea, diarrhea, constipation or vomiting. Phentermine can raise blood pressure and cause dry mouth or trouble sleeping.
They are not right for everyone, including people who are pregnant. Tirzepatide and semaglutide carry a warning about certain thyroid tumors. Phentermine is not for people with some heart conditions. Your provider screens for these.
Yes. All three require a prescription after a medical evaluation.
