As part of the comprehensive care provided at Valley Weight Loss Clinic, there are times when prescription weight loss medications can be helpful. Through careful assessment and discussion with our patients, our providers identify the best options for each individual. They are well educated on new and upcoming medication options. An appointment must be made with a physician for evaluation prior to starting a pharmaceutical weight loss prescription.

Common medications used include:

• GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) agonist
• Phentermine
• Diethylpropion
• Metformin
• Topiramate

Equally important to our patients’ success is the thorough review of our patient’s current medications. We assist patients in understanding the impact these medications can have on weight gains and how they can deter weight loss as well.
