Weight Loss > Medication & Weight Loss

For some people medication can help jumpstart your weight loss effort. For others who have difficulty adopting and maintaining lifestyle changes, or for whom serious weight loss efforts have not been successful in the past, medication can be a very valuable tool.

When appropriate, our physician may recommend medications such as Xenical®, Meridia® or Alli®. Medications can lose their effectiveness over time, so it's very important not to rely on medication alone.

 

What you can rely on is MinDshape's well-rounded weight loss approach that includes:

  • Working with a nutritionist to create a realistic eating plan
