weight loss medications: SCARY OR NOT?

NOT. WHY DO WE FEEL THIS WAY?


When you hear “weight loss medications” does that scare you? For many people, the thought of them is scary and they would never consider taking them. And we understand why– some weight loss medications in the 1990s led to serious side effects. If you do not remember these medications, it is likely that your parents, friends, or physicians do, which is why current weight loss medications are still struggling with the stigma of the past.

 


The good news is, there are now many safe, effective, FDA-approved weight loss medications that are completely different. Many of these safe medications have been out for over 20 years and are approved for diabetes and weight loss. Additionally, these medications are good for you because they have been found to lower your risk of heart disease, stroke, and kidney disease in addition to weight loss.

Don’t let weight loss medications scare you. Be informed and contact a pillarMD physician to learn more and see if you are a candidate.
