Curb Your Hunger with Prescription Appetite Suppressants
Clinically proven appetite suppressants help you feel full longer, so you can stay on track with your meal plan and achieve significant weight loss. Our doctors tailor dosing and monitor your progress for optimal safety.
Appetite suppressants work by reducing hunger sensations and enhancing feelings of fullness. Phentermine—marketed under brand names like Adipex‑P and Lomaira—is a prescription medication approved for short‑term use (typically up to 12 weeks) to aid weight loss. The drug acts on the central nervous system to suppress appetite, making it easier to stick to a reduced‑calorie diet. Phentermine is also available in combination with topiramate (Qsymia), an extended‑release capsule that can be used long‑term under medical supervision. Both medications are intended to be part of a comprehensive plan that includes healthy eating, increased physical activity and behavior modification.
Phentermine is classified as a Schedule IV controlled substance, meaning it has a low potential for misuse. Side effects may include a faster heart rate, insomnia, nervousness and constipation. The medication is not appropriate for people with heart disease, high blood pressure, hyperthyroidism, glaucoma, or for those who are pregnant or breastfeeding. Because phentermine can raise blood pressure and heart rate, close monitoring by a healthcare provider is essential. Combination therapy with topiramate may allow for longer‑term treatment but still requires regular check‑ins.
Our appetite suppressant program begins with a thorough medical evaluation to ensure you’re a suitable candidate. We review your medical history, current medications and weight‑loss goals. If medication is appropriate, we prescribe a customized dose and provide lifestyle counseling. Throughout treatment, you’ll attend follow‑up visits to monitor weight, blood pressure and potential side effects. Our multidisciplinary team collaborates with you to transition from medication to weight maintenance once you reach your goal.
