Our job as providers is to provide education and then govern safety with prescription medication.
Obesity is a complex disease and weight loss on any level is a multifaceted health concern.
Weight loss injectables are an amazing tool to help you retrain your brain, change your eating habits, lose weight and reach your optimal goals.
The problem is that the medication is so strong, but it does need prescribing authority.
I hear very few people advocating that pain medication should be available to everyone. And most people advocate that way because they know misuse can lead to addiction and death.
These medications are equally as strong, misuse can lead to multiple long-term problems, rapid weight loss can lead to G.I. Complications, including bowel obstruction, gallbladder, flares, and other emergency situations.
Dosing appropriately, moderate appropriate weight loss is imperative to keeping these medications available.
Find a prescriber that will help you reach your weight loss goals, but also keep your nutrition and safety in check.
