The doctor-prescribed medication is a custom-blended formulation tailored to each patient’s unique needs. When we consume food, our body naturally releases a specific hormone that induces a sensation of fullness. This medication is designed to target the brain and emulate that feeling of satiety, which in turn reduces your appetite, makes you feel fuller for longer, and ultimately leads to a decrease in caloric intake and weight loss.

On average, patients lose 2-4 pounds per week, but results will vary from person to person. While some people report weight loss within the first couple weeks, most people are going to get the best weight loss results when they reach their maintenance dose, which will be after the first 60 days. Patients are started on a low, suboptimal dose which is increased slowly every couple of weeks in order to help minimize the GI side effects from the medicine.

No, you can take it with or without food. One of the advantages of sublingual administration is that it bypasses the GI tract, so it works quicker and is usually more effective, without having as much of an impact on your digestive system.

The most common side effects are gastrointestinal (GI) related and include nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, constipation, stomach pain, gas and heartburn. In addition to GI symptoms, other common side effects are headache, fatigue, dry mouth and dizziness. Most side effects are temporary and improve as your body adjusts to being on the medication.

Our medical providers will go over all side effects during your consultation so you know exactly what to expect.

No, they are not the same. Legitimate compounding pharmacies, such as Smithville Pharmacy, strictly adhere to FDA regulations and require a valid prescription from a doctor. They compound medications using FDA-approved formulas and medications. On the other hand, wellness centers typically utilize research peptides that are not intended for human consumption or use. These peptides lack FDA approval and have no documented studies on their safety and effectiveness.

Our medical doctors and pharmacists are also going to be able to really understand the dosing required for you and your goals, and customize it for you so that it most efficient for your weight loss journey.

If the doctor believes that you are not a viable candidate for the medication after your telehealth consulation, you will be promptly refunded by Smithville Pharmacy for everything except for the cost of the telehealth visit with one of our providers. The fee associated with that visit is $60. All other payments will be refunded immediately.
