Do you prescribe medication as part of your weight loss program?
Yes, In addition to a prescribed nutritional and exercise regimen, Gerfin Medical Group recommend and uses at the discretion of each patient, anorexiant medications (appetite suppressants) as an integral part of our weight control and maintenance program. We use several different medications in various strengths and combinations. Phentermine is most commonly prescribed. Newer anorexiants are rarely used because they are more expensive and less effective. The medications that we use are very safe, have few side effects, are not physically addicting, and are very effective at curbing appetite.
