When diet and exercise alone aren’t enough, prescription medications can help reduce appetite, slow gastric emptying, or alter metabolic signals to achieve meaningful weight loss and improve health.

Why Consider Medication?

  • Diet and lifestyle changes may fail to overcome biological factors that drive hunger and fat storage.
  • Medications work alongside behavioral therapy to help you lose 5–20% of body weight, reducing risks of diabetes, hypertension, and fatty liver.
  • Long-term treatment supports maintenance and prevents weight regain.

Who Can Benefit?

  • Adults with BMI ≥30 kg/m²
  • BMI ≥27 kg/m² plus obesity-related conditions (type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea)
  • Those who have tried and struggled with diet/exercise alone
