Qsymia

Qsymia is a prescription medication that combines two primary ingredients: phentermine, an appetite suppressant, and topiramate, an anticonvulsant. This medication is used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan for weight loss, particularly for individuals struggling with obesity or weight-related health conditions.

Currently our clinic does not recommend this medication as there are much better and safer options

Phentermine Component

Phentermine, one component of Qsymia, is a well-known appetite suppressant. It works by stimulating the release of certain brain chemicals that help to reduce hunger and enhance satiety, leading to a decrease in food consumption.

Topiramate Component

The second component, topiramate, was originally developed as an anticonvulsant for conditions like epilepsy but has also been found to promote weight loss. The exact mechanism of how topiramate contributes to weight loss is still unclear, but it is believed to enhance feelings of fullness, make foods taste less appealing, and increase calorie burning.

Enhanced Weight Loss

Qsymia can aid individuals who are overweight or obese to effectively lose weight. The dual action of both phentermine and topiramate can lead to more significant weight loss than either ingredient alone.

Improved Health Parameters

By aiding in weight loss, Qsymia can also improve several health parameters such as blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and blood sugar control, reducing the risk of weight-related health conditions like heart disease and type 2 diabetes.

Qsymia is typically taken once daily in the morning to prevent insomnia. The dosage is gradually increased to minimize side effects. The exact dose will depend on the individual's health profile and weight loss goals, and should be determined by a healthcare provider.

As with all medications, Qsymia does come with potential side effects. These may include dizziness, dry mouth, constipation, changes in taste, and insomnia. In some cases, it can also cause more serious side effects such as rapid heart rate and mood changes. If you experience any unusual or severe side effects, you should contact your healthcare provider immediately.

Qsymia is a powerful tool that can be used in the fight against obesity when used in conjunction with a healthy diet and regular physical activity. However, it's not suitable for everyone, and the decision to use it should be made in consultation with a healthcare provider who can weigh the potential benefits against the possible risks.

Why Choose Medically Assisted Weight Loss?

Did you know there are many things beyond your control that prevent you from losing weight? They include a sluggish metabolism, vitamin and mineral deficiencies, and even resistance to insulin. Many people are unaware that they're living with one or more of these conditions. They've simply felt the effects when they struggle to slim down. Medical weight loss helps you take back control by correcting the ailments that force your body to hang onto unwanted fat. Under direct physician supervision, you’ll receive the right medications and vitamins to help your body break down its own fat cells. These can include powerful appetite suppressants like phentermine as well as injection treatments like HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) and GLP-1 therapies like Ozempic and Wegovy. You do not need to have a medical condition to benefit from medical weight loss. In fact, several of our own physicians and nurses have gone through our programs with results that have lasted to this day.

In addition to our comprehensive medication options, we formulate our own exclusive injection compounds - Tirzepatide, which is even more effective and includes vitamin B six to counteract the G.I. side effects. Patients often come in seeking our popular injection, a potent lipotropic developed by our medical team to let you safely drop up to 3.5 pounds of body fat per week.

You may be wondering whether you’ll need to make extreme lifestyle changes to go through our weight loss programs. The answer is no. Medical weight loss allows you to shed significant body fat without any overly strenuous exercise. So long as you maintain a sensible healthy diet, your body continues to burn its own fat as fuel, resulting in continued weight reduction by the day. Of course, patients that exercise will absolutely notice a much better outcome especially with regards to weight loss and maintenance of your desired results. We really do also want to emphasize a lifestyle change. Please be careful with other Weight loss clinics that tell you that you do not have to eat healthier or work out at all and can just sit back and achieve fantastic results that will last your entire lifetime. That is just not realistic.

Thanks to our proven effective programs, giving yourself the gift of a fit, healthier mind and body no longer needs to be challenging or uncomfortable. If you’d like to learn more about how our programs can work for you, you're welcome to call or email our knowledgeable team. Our friendly staff will guide you to the right resources to help you make the best decision for you. We offer free consultations, 7 days a week.
