Medical weight management with medication, always under specialized supervision.

What is it?

About the pharmacological Treatment

Pharmacological treatment for weight control uses approved medications — such as GLP-1 analogs — under prescription and medical supervision. They help regulate appetite and fullness and are used when surgery is not required, when the patient is not yet a candidate, or as part of a comprehensive plan. They are always accompanied by changes in diet and lifestyle.

FAQ

Common questions

Can anyone take these medications?

No. They require a medical evaluation, since they depend on your health status and may have contraindications and side effects.

Do they replace surgery?

Not necessarily; they are one more tool. During consultation we define whether they are the best option for your case or whether combining them with another treatment is preferable.
