Prescription Weight Loss Options
For some individuals, lifestyle changes alone may not be enough. Prescription weight loss medications can provide valuable support when combined with healthy habits.
These medications are typically prescribed for patients with:
-
A BMI of 30 or higher, or
-
A BMI of 27 or higher with weight-related conditions such as high blood pressure or type 2 diabetes.
Even a modest 5–10% reduction in body weight can lead to significant health improvements, including lower blood pressure, better blood sugar control, and reduced triglycerides.
FDA-approved prescription weight loss medications may help by:
-
Reducing appetite or helping you feel full sooner
-
Blocking the absorption of dietary fat
Commonly prescribed options include:
Orlistat (Xenical, Alli) • Phentermine-topiramate (Qsymia) • Naltrexone-bupropion (Contrave) • Liraglutide (Saxenda)
Research shows that patients who combine prescription medication with lifestyle modification lose 3–9% more body weight than those relying on lifestyle changes alone.

FAQs - Medical Weight Loss
What is a medical weight loss program and how is it different from regular dieting?
A medical weight loss program is a medical practitioner-supervised plan that combines nutrition guidance, behavioral coaching, exercise incorporation, and when appropriate, prescription medication to promote safe and effective weight loss. Unlike fad diets or over-the-counter supplements, medical weight loss focuses on long-term success by addressing underlying health issues and creating sustainable lifestyle habits.
Am I a good candidate for prescription weight loss medication?
You may be a candidate if your Body Mass Index (BMI) is 30 or higher, or at least 27 with a related health condition such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or type 2 diabetes. During your consultation, our weight loss specialist will evaluate your health history and goals to determine if prescription medication is appropriate for you.
How much weight can I lose with a medical weight loss program?
Results vary depending on your starting weight, health, and adherence to the program. On average, patients combining prescription medication with lifestyle changes lose 3–9% more of their initial body weight than those using diet and exercise alone. Even a 5–10% loss can lead to significant improvements in blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol levels.
