At WeCare Pharmacy, we offer access to personalized compounding solutions for weight management, especially when it seems impossible to lose weight. Here are some of the ways that you can address specific problems prohibiting your weight loss.

1. Appetite Suppressants

Prescription appetite suppressants can help reduce food cravings and promote feelings of fullness. These medications work by altering brain chemistry to decrease appetite, potentially leading to a reduction in calorie intake.

  • What are they? Appetite suppressants are prescription medications that curb your hunger, making it easier to control your food intake and reduce calorie consumption.
  • Who are they for? If you have a high BMI or obesity-related health issues, and traditional diet and exercise haven’t been successful, appetite suppressants might be a good option for you.

Weight loss peptides have shown promising results in clinical trials. In one study, participants lost an average of 15% of their body weight over 68 weeks when using peptides combined with lifestyle changes.

  • What is it? Originally developed for type 2 diabetes, weight loss peptides are now a leading prescription medication for weight loss. It works by mimicking a hormone that regulates appetite and food intake.
  • Why choose it? Clinical trials have shown impressive results, with patients losing a significant percentage of their body weight. It’s available as both an oral medication and an injection, offering flexibility based on your preferences.

4. Hormone Replacement Therapy

For some people, hormonal imbalances can contribute to weight gain. HRT aims to restore hormonal balance, potentially aiding in weight loss efforts. However, it’s important to note that HRT should only be considered under close medical supervision.

  • What is it? HRT replenishes hormones that naturally decline with age, which can contribute to weight gain and difficulty losing weight.
  • Benefits beyond weight loss: Besides aiding weight management, HRT can also alleviate other symptoms associated with hormonal changes, such as fatigue and mood swings.
