Weight Loss Medication

SEMAGLUTIDE

Semaglutide is a prescription strength injection used to treat obesity. It is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that naturally enhances the body’s ability to regulate blood sugar and facilitate weight loss. It also slows the rate at which the stomach empties, which makes you feel full faster and feel hunger less frequently. Patients report significantly reduced appetite and a reduced craving for sweets. This injection is administered once per week, subcutaneously.

TIRZEPATIDE

Tirzepatide is a newer prescription strength injection used to treat obesity. It combines the actions of GLP-1 and GIP, making it a dual action approach to weight loss. This can cause more effective management of blood sugar levels and weight. Clinical trials have shown that Tirzepatide can lead to more pronounced weight loss compared to Semaglutide. The addition of GIP component acts to decrease nausea side effects that can happen with Semaglutide. It is also administered once per week, subcutaneously.

PHENTERMINE

Phentermine (generic Adipex, also Fastin and Ionamine) is an FDA approved weight loss medication the suppresses appetite, and can decrease the sensation of hunger and cravings. It works on the hypothalamus to release the neurotransmitter epinephrine which reduces hunger. It works outside the brain as well to release epinephrine or adrenaline causing fat cells to break down stored fat.

DIETHYLPROPION (GENERIC TENUATE)

Diethylpropion is an appetite suppressant that is milder than phentermine. It works by acting on the appetite center in the brain to cause a temporary reduction in hunger or cravings.

TOPIRAMATE (GENERIC TOPAMAX)

Is an anti-convulsant medication but also tends to cause soft drinks and sugary foods taste bad. It is often used in conjunction with phentermine for weight loss.

LIPOTROPIC (MIC) INJECTIONS*

Lipotropic contain Methionine 25mg, Inositol 50mg, and Choline 50mg in each 2 ml injection. These are naturally occurring amino acids and vitamins that work by reducing the amount of stored fat in your body, increasing metabolism so you burn fat faster, and increase energy levels. People tend to lose inches, often one pant size.

MEGA BURN INJECTION

The Mega Burn is identical to the Lipotropic injection but also contains Vitamins b-12, Carntine, Vitamin b-5, b-6, Thiamine, Niacin, Riboflavin, Vitamin C, and Folate. All of these work together to help with weight loss, the immune system, energy, and a multitude of other body functions!

B-12 INJECTIONS*

B-12 regulates the formulation of red cells and helps in the utilization of iron, preventing anemia. It is an important component of the body system because it is required for proper digestion, absorption of foods, synthesis of proteins, and metabolism of carbohydrates and fats.
