FDA-Approved Medications

There are several FDA-approved medications for weight management; however, it’s important to select them based on your unique health background and how you may respond to treatment. Your treatment plan will take into account all of the approved options to ensure your plan is as effective and personalized as possible.

Current medications that are FDA-approved for weight management in adults include:

• Phentermine (stimulant)
• Diethylpropion (stimulant)
• Qsymia (phentermine/topiramate combination)
• Contrave (wellbutrin/naltrexone)

GLP-1 Medications are utilized when indicated and approved by your insurance plan. Current GLP-1 medications that we use include:

• For patients with Type 2 Diabetes: Victoza, Trulicity, Ozempic, Mounjaro
