What Are Oral Medications for Weight Loss?

Oral weight loss medications are prescription pills that can support your efforts to lose weight when lifestyle changes aren’t enough. These medications help by:

• Reducing your appetite so you feel fuller with less food
• Decreasing fat absorption in your digestive system
• Changing how your body processes hunger and satiety signals

When used alongside healthy nutrition and physical activity, oral medications can help patients improve their ability to lose weight and maintain results.

Why You Might Benefit from Oral Medication

Weight loss medications are not right for everyone, but they may be recommended if:

• You have a BMI of 30 or higher
• You have a BMI of 27 or higher with weight-related conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol
• Lifestyle changes have not produced your desired results
• You are seeking a medically guided plan to improve your health

• A full review of your medical history and current health conditions
• Lab work to ensure safe use of prescription options
• A discussion of your weight loss goals and lifestyle habits
