Prescription Weight Loss Treatments
There are several prescription weight loss treatments available, depending on what you prefer and what is suitable for you. These work to help you achieve your weight loss goals. You can get prescription weight loss treatments in a tablet or an injectable pen from Core Pharmacy Online Doctor.
Weight Loss Injections
Weight loss injections are a prescription weight loss treatment that can help you lose weight. We currently provide Wegovy and Mounjaro, which are injectable prefilled pens.
Mounjaro
Mounjaro is a once-weekly injection containing the active ingredient tirzepatide. Similar to Wegovy, it helps you lose weight by reducing hunger and prolonging satiety (feeling full after eating). It should always be used alongside lifestyle changes such as a healthy diet and an exercise regimen.
Wegovy
Wegovy is an injectable weight loss medication for overweight adults or adults with obesity. It is taken once a week and works by mimicking a hormone that targets areas of the brain that regulate appetite. It makes you feel more full from less food to help you lose weight – 14.9% of starting weight is lost on average when using the highest maintenance dose.
Saxenda
*Please note due to nationwide shortages, we do not offer Saxenda.
Saxenda is an injectable weight loss pen that contains the active ingredient liraglutide. It works by making you feel less hungry. This helps you to eat less and lose weight.
Saxenda is taken once a day, and it should start working within 1 to 2 days. You can expect to see results within a few weeks of taking it.
Weight Loss Tablets
Weight loss tablets can also be used to lose weight. Core Pharmacy Online Doctor currently has 4 tablets: orlistat, Xenical, Mysimba, and alli.
Orlistat
Orlistat is a weight loss capsule that changes how your body digests fat, meaning you do not absorb some of the fat from your meals. It works best when you eat low-fat meals and spread your daily fat intake over 3 meals.
Orlistat can be taken up to 3 times a day and only with meals that contain fat. When you start taking orlistat, it should take around 24 to 48 hours to work. You should see weight loss results within 2 weeks of taking it.
Xenical
Xenical is a branded version of orlistat. This means it works the same way to change how your body digests fat. It should also be taken up to 3 times daily, with meals containing fat. Xenical should start to work within 24 to 48 hours of taking it. You should start to see weight loss results within 2 weeks of treatment.
Mysimba
Mysimba is a weight loss tablet that makes you feel less hungry. This means it can help you to control your food intake, as it can stop food cravings and make you feel fuller.
When you take Mysimba, you will start on a lower dose that will be increased gradually. Mysimba should start to work within 1 to 2 days of taking it but will take a few weeks to reach its full effect.
alli
alli weight loss capsules are an over-the-counter weight loss medication that has been proven to help you lose weight when used in combination with a healthy diet and an active lifestyle. They work by stopping your body from absorbing around 25% of the fat in your food. You should take 1 alli capsule within an hour of eating a meal that contains fat up to 3 times a day. If you do not eat a meal that contains fat, you do not need to take the capsule.
