Appetite Suppressant Medications

Weight Loss Medications:  Phentermine and Tenuate

When used in combination with our medical weight loss programs, FDA approved weight loss medications can be helpful not only with speed of weight loss and amount of weight loss, but by reducing the sensation of hunger as well.  Weight loss medications are not a substitute for a good diet and exercise program – they are designed to complement the behavioral program.

Which Weight Loss Medications Work Best?

Phentermine & Tenuate

Both Phentermine and Tenuate are FDA approved weight loss medications.  For most individuals, these are very safe options that can be added to any of our medically monitored weight loss programs.  Phentermine and Tenuate are generally well tolerated with few side effects.  The FDA has approved Phentermine and Tenuate for short-term (3 months) treatment of obesity (BMI > 30); however, many weight loss doctors use Phentermine and Tenuate for longer duration.

Successful Life Long Weight Loss is Possible!

For many patients losing weight or maintaining weight loss, controlling the diet can be difficult.  Dieters often find themselves constantly dwelling on what they should and shouldn’t eat, and after trying to restrict calories all day, overeat at night.  Appetite suppressant medications like Phentermine and Tenuate can be very helpful to keep the dieter on track and in control.

Phentermine and Tenuate are very safe medications for most individuals and have been approved by the FDA for use in weight loss for over 50 years.

Appetite suppressant medications are not appropriate for all dieters, and will be prescribed if deemed an appropriate treatment option by our medical staff.
