Weight Loss Medications
Introducing prescription weight loss medications for our Little Elm Medical Clinic patients!
As part of our ongoing commitment to supporting your health and wellness journey, we now offer compounded prescription weight-loss medications, including semaglutide and tirzepatide.
How They Work
Semaglutide and tirzepatide are revolutionary medications designed to aid in weight loss by regulating appetite and improving glucose control. Different from traditional weight loss solutions, these medications not only aid in blood sugar control but have proven to be one of the most effective medications for sustainable weight loss. They work by mimicking the effects of certain hormones in the body, leading to reduced food intake and increased feelings of fullness. By targeting key hormones like GLP-1, these medications slow stomach emptying, trigger insulin release, and block sugar release from the liver.
Health Benefits
Patients can expect a range of benefits from these medications, including significant weight loss and improvements in overall health markers such as blood sugar levels and blood pressure. Our partnership with a local pharmacy ensures that these compounded medications are available to you at a competitive price, making them accessible to all who seek effective weight management solutions.
Possible Side Effects
While the benefits are promising, it's important to be aware of potential side effects, including nausea, diarrhea, or abdominal discomfort. Our dedicated team at Little Elm Medical Clinic will work closely with you to monitor your progress and address any concerns throughout your treatment journey.
