What Is Weight Loss Medication?
Weight loss medication refers to FDA-approved prescription treatments that assist with weight reduction by targeting appetite, metabolism, and fat absorption. These medications are part of a comprehensive medical weight loss plan and work best when combined with nutrition guidance and lifestyle adjustments. At Dreamland Health & Wellness, our team carefully evaluates your health profile, hormone levels, and metabolic rate to select the most effective medication for your unique needs and goals.
Our Approach to Weight Loss Medication
During your initial consultation, our medical team will perform a detailed health assessment, including lab testing and a metabolic review, to identify the best course of treatment. Based on your results, we may recommend GLP-1 medications (such as semaglutide or tirzepatide), appetite suppressants, or metabolic boosters. These medications work by reducing hunger, improving insulin sensitivity, and slowing digestion to help you feel fuller for longer. Regular follow-ups ensure your progress is monitored closely, and your plan is adjusted as needed for optimal results.
