Medication & Pricing

Compounded weight loss medications are specially formulated treatments that often belong to classes of medications known as GLP-1 receptor agonists, GIP receptor agonists, or similar compounds. These medications mimic naturally occurring hormones in the body, such as GLP-1 and GIP, which are released in response to food intake.

One of the primary functions of these hormones is to stimulate insulin production and lower blood sugar levels, making them valuable in the treatment of Type 2 diabetes. However, when used in higher amounts, these compounds also interact with brain receptors that control appetite and satiety, leading to reduced hunger and increased feelings of fullness.

When prescribed by a medical provider in conjunction with a healthy diet and regular exercise, compounded weight loss medications can contribute to weight reduction. This weight loss is often accompanied by additional health benefits, including a lower risk of chronic conditions like diabetes, heart disease, and certain cancers, particularly in individuals who are obese or overweight.

At Enhance.MD, you will undergo multiple consultations with a medical provider at crucial junctures to identify the safest and most effective medication for you. Throughout these consultations, your provider will closely monitor your response to the medication to ensure that it is effectively addressing your needs. Many side effects can be easily managed and only in rare instances does treatment need to be stopped.

During your video consultation with your Enhance.MD provider will thoroughly review all medical information and determine your eligibility for a personalized weight loss treatment plan.
