Weight loss medications are available from medical clinics to help patients reach their health and weight goals. Depending on the your individual needs, there are several types of medications to choose from. Appetite suppressants work by reducing feelings of hunger and helping patients eat less. Stimulants, such as caffeine, can also be prescribed to help increase energy levels and reduce fatigue. Fat blockers can be used to prevent fat absorption and can help reduce calorie intake. Finally, there are prescription-strength weight loss medications that can be prescribed by a clinician to help with more extreme cases of obesity. Each type of medication has its own benefits and drawbacks, so it is important to discuss options with a clinician to determine the best course of treatment.
Prescription-strength weight loss medications include drugs such as orlistat, liraglutide, semaglutide, tirzepitide, phentermine, low dose naltrexone, HCG, bupropion and more.
