Depending on which medication your prescribing physician chooses to assist you on your weight loss journey, you may expect the medication to start working immediately to possibly help suppress your appetite. On average, appetite-suppressing medications begin working approximately 30 minutes after ingestion.
Even though compounded medications are custom-dosed and made with high-quality ingredients, free of harmful ingredients or substances, appetite-suppressing medications are only short-term solutions for weight loss.
Typically, patients take appetite-suppressing medications for up to three months. Your prescribing physician may develop a treatment plan that’s right for you and may give you more information about when and how often you should take the medication to reach your specific goals.
Appetite-suppressing medications are designed to work by reducing the desire to eat while simultaneously making you feel fuller faster. These medications affect the brain and reduce the hunger signals that it sends to the body, so you won’t feel as hungry as you would normally. While this on its own is a benefit that may help you lose weight, it’s also an opportunity to maximize your weight loss results.
When you choose low-calorie, nutrient-dense foods, you may promote your overall health and weight loss. Use the reduced appetite effect of the medication to your advantage by choosing healthier options instead of unhealthy options to maximize your results.
Additionally, many appetite-suppressing medications contain ingredients that increase your energy levels. As a result, you may be able to easily adhere to a low-calorie diet without feeling drained during your exercise routine.
Appetite-suppressing medications are just one of many compounded solutions that may be created to promote weight loss. Other solutions include injectable lipotropics and vitamin therapies, cellulite creams and gels, Sermorelin, sleep aids, and solutions that may promote thyroid and adrenal health. Based on your ultimate goals, you may benefit from a combination of custom compounded weight loss solutions in addition to your appetite-suppressing medications.
All of these options may be compounded without any ingredients that could result in adverse reactions or side effects. If your body cannot tolerate gluten, dyes, sugar, or any other ingredients that are typically added to appetite-suppressing medications, a compounding pharmacist might remove them and design a pure product that may help you achieve your results without having to worry about any negative reactions.
Appetite-suppressing medications are a means to an end and may help give your body what it needs to support your weight loss goals. However, you’ll never achieve your goals as quickly and efficiently without a clean diet, adequate water intake, and regular exercise.
Clean eating and appetite-suppressing medications go hand in hand, and you may rest assured that you may lose weight and nourish your body with healthy foods that contain the vitamins, minerals, and nutrients it needs to thrive.
If your appetite has been the roadblock to clean eating and weight loss, you may be a good candidate for a custom compounded appetite-suppressing medication. Visit us today to learn more about our compounding weight loss medications and how they might support your weight management plan.
