Top 5 Weight Loss Medications We Offer (And How They Work)
Are you struggling to lose weight with just diet and exercise? At Miami Beach Urgent Care, we understand how challenging weight loss can be. That’s why we offer a range of FDA-approved medications designed to help you reach your goals safely and effectively. Here’s a breakdown of the Top 5 weight loss medications we offer, and how each one works:
1. Semaglutide (Wegovy)
How it works: Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist, meaning it mimics the body’s natural hormone that controls appetite and blood sugar. It slows digestion, helps you feel full longer, and reduces cravings.
✅ Typical Results: Patients lose 5% to 20% of their body weight over several months.
✅ Benefits: Weekly injections, proven safe and effective, also helps with blood sugar regulation.
2. Tirzepatide (Mounjaro)
How it works: Tirzepatide works on two gut hormones (GLP-1 and GIP) to double the appetite-suppressing and blood sugar-regulating effects.
✅ Typical Results: Patients often see 15% to 25% weight loss.
✅ Benefits: Fast-acting, especially effective for people with insulin resistance or diabetes.
3. Phentermine
How it works: Phentermine is a stimulant that reduces hunger by affecting neurotransmitters in the brain. It’s intended for short-term use (usually 12 weeks) and is often combined with lifestyle changes.
✅ Typical Results: Patients lose 5% to 10% of their body weight.
✅ Benefits: Affordable and effective for jumpstarting weight loss.
4. Bupropion/Naltrexone (Contrave)
How it works: This medication combines two drugs that work on the brain’s reward system to reduce cravings and hunger.
✅ Typical Results: Patients lose 5% to 10% of their body weight.
✅ Benefits: Non-stimulant, can be continued long-term, may help with emotional eating.
5. Orlistat (Alli, Xenical)
How it works: Orlistat blocks fat absorption in the intestines, which means fewer calories are absorbed.
✅ Typical Results: Patients lose 3% to 5% of their body weight.
✅ Benefits: Available over the counter (low dose) or by prescription (higher dose).
