Weight management anti-obesity medication such as Ozempic, Qsymia available after consultation with expert.
Use of Anti-obesity Medications like Ozempic, Qsymia on the rise. However one needs an expert to manage the recommendations and close monitoring . Anti-obesity medications are designed to help individuals who are overweight or obese manage their weight by suppressing appetite, reducing food intake, or interfering with the absorption of nutrients. These medications are typically prescribed as part of a comprehensive weight-loss program that includes dietary changes, increased physical activity, and behavioral modifications. Here are some common mechanisms of action for anti- obesity medications:
Appetite suppression: Certain medications work by suppressing appetite and reducing food cravings. They target neurotransmitters in the brain, such as serotonin and norepinephrine, that regulate hunger and satiety. By increasing the levels of these neurotransmitters, these medications can help individuals feel full with smaller amounts of food.
Interference with nutrient absorption: Some medications work by interfering with the body’s absorption of nutrients, particularly fat. They inhibit the activity of enzymes in the digestive system that break down fats, leading to a reduced absorption of dietary fat. This can result in decreased calorie intake and weight loss.
Increased metabolism: Certain medications can increase the body’s metabolic rate, which is the rate at which it burns calories. By boosting metabolism, these medications can help individuals burn more calories even when they are at rest. This can contribute to weight loss over time.
It’s important to note that anti-obesity medications are typically prescribed for individuals with a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher, or those with a BMI of 27 or higher with obesity-related health conditions. These medications are usually used in conjunction with lifestyle changes and should be prescribed and monitored by a healthcare professional.
It’s also worth mentioning that the effectiveness and safety of anti-obesity medications can vary. Each medication has its own set of potential side effects and contraindications, so it’s important to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any medication for weight loss. They can assess your individual circumstances and recommend the most appropriate treatment options for you.
