Frequently Asked Questions
Please reach us at if you cannot find an answer to your question.
If you are overweight or have obesity and would like help with weight loss then you are a candidate for medical weight loss. Medical weight loss is a great option for people who have a lot of weight to lose but do not like the idea of surgery and also for people who have several stubborn pounds they just haven’t been able to lose despite diet and exercise.
There are about 20 medications that are approved for weight loss/management or used off-label for weight loss/management. One of the most sought after weight loss medications right now is Semaglutide(Wegovy, Ozempic) and this is one of the cornerstone medications of our Weight loss program.
However, this medication may not be right for everyone, so we offer several other weight loss medications such as Metformin, Naltrexone/Bupropion (contrave), Olympia Pharmacy 90 day weight management kit (low dose naltrexone and sermorelin) as well as vitamin supplementation to increase energy and boost your metabolism.
Semaglutide(brand names:Wegovy/Ozempic) is a weight loss peptide which was approved in June, 2021 by the FDA for Chronic weight management in adults with obesity or overweight with at least one weight-related condition(high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes and more). It is an under-the-skin injection.
