Weight Loss Programs
The Prescription Therapy
We use prescription medications to help our patients lose weight. These medications help you cope with cravings for food. But simply taking a pill is not the whole answer for real weight loss. That is why we also instruct our patients on behavior modification so that the weight will not return.
- Medications We Use
- Phentermine (Ionamine or Fastin)
- Phendimetrazine (Bontril)
- Diethylpropion (Tenuate)
- Benzphetamine (Didrex)
These diet medications have been used successfully over the last twenty-five years and have yet to cause any serious side effects. The most common side effect experienced with these medications is dry mouth and insomnia for some.
