The MD Diet program uses safe, FDA-approved weight loss medications as a part of our customized programs. These medications can improve your results and help end struggles such as cravings and excessive hunger at mealtime that you have experienced in the past when trying to lose weight.
Ozempic (Semaglutide)
Ozempic or Wegovy which are the brand names for the medication Semaglutide is a breakthrough medication that is helping people lose weight. It’s Hollywood’s new secret to getting in shape for movies and TV and the world’s most famous celebrities have been using it to slim down. Ozempic (Semaglutide) was originally meant to help individuals manage type 2 diabetes, but has been found in studies to help reduce body weight by 15-20%. It does this by working on centers in the brain that makes us hungry and can supress appetite. When you’re not hungry all the time it’s so much easier to stick to a weight loss plan. Ask our providers if Ozempic is right for you.
Mounjaro (Tirzepatide)
Tirzepatide is the breakthrough “skinny shot”. Just like its cousin Ozempic (semaglutide), which was originally developed for type 2 diabetes but found to melt off pounds, Mounjaro is making waves for its jaw-dropping weight loss results. A key difference is that while Ozempic was the first to bring injectable weight loss meds into the limelight, Mounjaro has an even better slimming power. In clinical trials, Mounjaro helped people lose a staggering 15-22% of their body weight! It works by tricking your brain into feeling fuller, suppressing appetite so you’re just not as hungry. When those insatiable cravings are kept at bay, sticking to a diet is a breeze. Ask your provider if Tirzepatide is right for you!
Phentermine
Used reliably for more than 60 years to help with diet and losing weight, Phentermine is a key component of many of today’s most effective treatments, including Qsymia. Phentermine curbs your hunger making you feel full for longer.
Qsymia
Qsymia is one of the most exciting prescription weight-loss drugs to come along in decades. A proprietary blend of two individually effective drugs, Qsymia is a once-daily medication clinically proven to help you lose weight three times faster than diet and exercise alone. Qsymia helps you keep the weight off too, by controlling your cravings and hunger.
Contrave
Contrave helps you control the cravings that so often derail your goals. Studies show that Contrave can help you lose two to four times the amount of weight you could lose with diet and exercise alone. A tablet that you take daily on a schedule established by the doctor, Contrave targets two areas of the brain that are responsible for hunger and cravings, reducing those familiar and often-overwhelming temptations to cheat on your diet.
Saxenda
In a medical study, this injectable medication helped participants lose two and a half times more weight than diet and exercise alone. It is also proven effective to help you keep the weight off once you’ve completed your medical weight loss program and achieved your goals.
Lomaira
Lomaira offers flexible dosing options that allow our medical professionals to customize your program for maximum effectiveness. Taken prior to meals, Lomaira helps you lose more weight than diet and exercise alone. This treatment helps suppress appetite, control cravings and take the edge off your hunger when you sit down to a meal.
Diethylpropion
Diethylpropion is another appetite suppressant that we use to help patients achieve their goals. It is especially helpful if diet and exercise alone have previously been unsuccessful for you.
All medications are prescribed by our medical providers, as needed. For the duration of your treatment, our medical team will closely monitor your health and progress to ensure your safety and the success of your medical weight-loss program.
