Types of Weight Loss Medications

 Taking weight loss drugs by themselves doesn’t guarantee weight loss, but they do help. These drugs enable overweight patients to stick to their diets more easily by suppressing the appetite one way or another. The signals that indicate “fullness” come from a range of range of places in the body, and these drugs are designed target these areas to convince the body that you are full. When it comes to the question of what some weight loss medications are, the most common types of weight loss medications include: 


Appetite suppressants: These medications work by reducing your appetite, making you feel less hungry or more full.


Fat blockers: These medications work by preventing your body from absorbing some of the fat you eat.


Combination medications: Some medications combine different mechanisms to help with weight loss.


Take note that some examples of weight loss drugs approved Canada include Wagovy, Contrave, Saxenda. Which one is most appropriate for you will depend on factors like your health history, BMI, and complications brought about obesity. In that light, it’s vital we arrange an appointment and checkup. Finding out which drug works best for weight loss depends on your own medical history, and it pays to let our team take a look at you to find the medication to ensure we find the medication that’s most appropriate for your needs.
