Welcome to Frazine Medical Weight Loss
How We Implement Medication Into Your Plan
Medications can help you achieve and maintain your weight loss goals, largely by decreasing hunger and cravings that make it difficult to maintain healthy eating. At Frazine Medical Weight Loss, we integrate medication with other components of our program when medically appropriate and desired by the patient. We are experienced with and prescribe all FDA approved medications for weight loss.
Before we determine which medication will suit you best, we analyze your current medications to find where they might be contributing to slow progress or weight gain, as well as to adjust them as needed to suit your individual needs. It is always safer to handle medication with the direction of an experienced medical professional, so do it with us at our in-person clinic for long-term success.

What to Expect
The Weight Loss Medication Process

Step 1: Consultation
At your initial consultation, we learn more about you, your health history, and your weight journey thus far. You can ask any questions about the process, and we review your medications for their potential impact on your weight gain. Our providers will walk you through weight loss medications, dosage, administration, and possible side effects.

Step 2: Administration
After understanding your health situation, we prescribe all FDA-approved medications on the market, or choose a compounded medication when FDA-approved meds are not an option. In conjunction with other steps of the weight loss program we develop for you, you’ll take the medication as directed to start seeing results.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are there different kinds of weight loss medications?
-
Yes, there are different kinds with variable effects. Most work by decreasing hunger in some way. There are a few administered via an injection rather than orally. Your provider will work with you to choose the medication or combination of medications that work best for you.
- Will my insurance cover weight loss medicine?
-
Weight loss medication is covered by some insurance if you meet the criteria of a BMI over 30, or a BMI over 27 with certain weight-related conditions. We make all efforts to get medication covered by insurance when possible. If not covered with insurance, then we may have options for compounded and generic medications for a cash price.
- Are there any side effects of weight loss medications?
-
Potential side effects vary depending on the exact type of medication you take, but they may include dry mouth, nausea, constipation, or diarrhea.
