Semaglutide
Semaglutide is a weekly injectable peptide that was initially FDA approved for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Semaglutide is a glucagon like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonist, and works by enhancing the body’s ability to metabolize insulin and improving blood sugars. Semaglutide delays gastric emptying and reduces appetite, improves control of eating, and reduces food cravings. When combined with appropriate lifestyle changes long term goals can be reached and maintained.
Tirzepatide
Tirzepatide is a weekly injectable peptide that includes both glucagon like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonist and gastric inhibitory peptide (GIP). Tirzepatide provides a dual action in the body allowing for an even greater reduction in blood sugar levels and weight loss. It is demonstrating a lower risk of hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar, allowing for fewer side effects compared to Semaglutide. Tirzepatide is an impressive complementary tool to support weight loss efforts with long term lifestyle changes.

FAQs
Commonly asked questions About Phentermine
Is phentermine safe to use?
Yes. Phentermine is FDA approved to help you lose weight, meaning it went through clinical studies to show it was safe and effective for weight loss. Phentermine works best if it’s combined with regular exercise and a lower calorie intake. More recent studies show that long term phentermine use (more than 3 months) is not only safe but helps more people lose more weight.
How long does it take to start losing weight on phentermine?
Phentermine has been shown to start working in the body as quickly as within three to four hours. For some patients it may take a few days to notice effects. However, it may take a few weeks to see some weight loss. Results vary with each individual person.
How long does phentermine stay in your system?
An effective dose of phentermine should lower your appetite for about 12 to 14 hours. And it typically takes 3- 4 days for your body to clear phentermine after your last dose.
How to take phentermine for the best results?
Since phentermine can have stimulating effects, it’s best to take it in the morning. An hour or two after breakfast is recommended. If you take phentermine tablets, your prescriber may have you divide your dose into two smaller daily doses. This can help with afternoon appetite control if needed. Avoid taking it in the evening as it can interfere with your sleep if you take it too late in the day.
How does Phentermine work for weight loss?
Phentermine works by activating your sympathetic nervous system, similar to a stimulant medication. Stimulants help speed up the functions of your body. Phentermine suppresses your appetite, so it helps you eat less calories. People also report a boost in energy or reduction in daily fatigue when they’re taking phentermine, which helps them be more active.
What are common side effects of using phentermine?
The most common side effects are dry mouth, trouble sleeping, and headache. In some cases, it may cause tremors, changes in your mood or behavior, and an increased heart rate. Most phentermine side effects will go away as your body adjusts to the medication.
Phentermine may cause more serious side effects. Call your provider if you experience additional side effects.
How much weight can I lose on Phentermine?
How much weight you’ll lose while taking phentermine largely depends on two things: how much excess weight you have and how well you’re able to adjust your diet and exercise habits while taking it. Several studies have shown that Phentermine has been linked to up to 5-10% weight loss.
