What Are Weight Loss Medications?

Weight loss medications are FDA-approved treatments used to support weight loss under medical supervision. They support weight management by influencing key biological processes involved in weight regulation, including:

When combined with nutritional support, physical movement, and supplements, weight loss medications can lead to faster and better weight loss results. At PhySlim, these medications are prescribed as part of a structured, medically guided program and selected based on individual health needs.

Prescription Weight Loss Medication We Offer

At PhySlim, we work with the following medication categories as part of medically supervised weight loss programs.

GLP-1 Medications for Weight Loss

GLP-1 medications help with weight management by working with your body’s natural metabolic processes. These medications mimic the effects of the naturally occurring GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) hormone. 

They target areas of the brain involved in regulating appetite and food intake to help reduce hunger and support long-term weight loss.

We offer two GLP-1 options:

Depending on your clinical suitability, these GLP-1 medications may be prescribed as injectables or as oral pills as part of an individualized treatment plan.

Phentermine

Phentermine helps suppress appetite and extend the feeling of satiety. It can be helpful when appetite control is a significant barrier to your weight loss progress. 

Phentermine stimulates the central nervous system of the body and can affect heart rate and blood pressure. Our providers use it for short-term pharmacologic support and prescribe it selectively, with close clinical oversight as part of a broader weight loss plan.

Our Health-First Approach to Weight Loss

At PhySlim, prescription weight loss medications are an important part of our medical weight loss programs, but they are never the only focus. Our health-first approach focuses on improving the underlying health factors that influence your weight, energy, and long-term health.

We do not use one-size-fits-all weight loss plans. Two people may share the same weight loss goal but have very different bodies, metabolisms, health histories, and challenges. Your plan is built around your starting point, your health needs, and how your body actually responds over time.

Supporting Weight Loss Beyond Medication

When prescription weight loss medications are part of your plan, they are integrated thoughtfully alongside sustainable lifestyle support, including:

To further support overall health during treatment, we may also include vitamin B-12 injections, lipotropic support, and targeted supplements to improve your metabolic function and nutritional balance.

Our care is centered on helping patients build a plan they can realistically maintain. That means addressing how your body responds to medication and how to move forward safely without relying on short-term fixes.

By combining medical oversight with lifestyle support, we help you pursue weight loss in a way that is effective, responsible, and designed to last, without the risk of unhealthy rebounds once medical support ends.
