More Than a Prescription
Weight is influenced by appetite signaling, insulin resistance, sleep, medications, thyroid function, mental health, lifestyle and other medical factors. Our program begins with a medical assessment so treatment can be selected around your health history, goals, preferences and medication coverage.
Depending on clinical eligibility, treatment may include an FDA-approved obesity medication or another medically appropriate option. Medication is combined with realistic nutrition, activity, sleep and behavioral strategies to support durable results.
Who may qualify?
Prescription weight-management medications are generally considered for adults with obesity, or adults who are overweight and have at least one weight-related medical condition. Eligibility, contraindications and insurance rules vary by medication.
Medical Weight-Loss Medication Options
Clinical-trial averages below are educational estimates. Individual results vary with dose, treatment duration, adherence, medical conditions and lifestyle changes.
Semaglutide
Average body-weight reduction at 68 weeks in a major Wegovy trial of adults without diabetes.
Brand clarification: Wegovy is FDA approved for chronic weight management in eligible patients. Ozempic contains semaglutide but is FDA approved for type 2 diabetes and certain related risk-reduction indications.
Tirzepatide
Average body-weight reduction at 72 weeks across Zepbound doses in a major trial of adults without diabetes.
Brand clarification: Zepbound is FDA approved for chronic weight management in eligible patients. Mounjaro contains tirzepatide but is FDA approved for type 2 diabetes.
Phentermine + Topiramate
Average loss varies by dose and study. The FDA-approved extended-release combination is Qsymia. Some clinicians may prescribe components separately when medically appropriate.
Naltrexone + Bupropion
Contrave may reduce appetite and food cravings. It is not appropriate for everyone, including patients with uncontrolled hypertension, seizure disorders or chronic opioid use.
Phentermine
A short-term sympathomimetic appetite suppressant. Heart rate, blood pressure, sleep, anxiety and cardiovascular history require careful review and monitoring.
Customized Medical Plan
Your plan may also address thyroid disease, diabetes risk, sleep apnea, emotional eating, medication-related weight gain and other barriers to healthy weight loss.
Percentages are not guarantees. Direct comparison across separate trials is limited because study populations and methods differ.

Safety Comes First
Weight-loss medications can cause side effects and may be unsafe with certain medical conditions or medication combinations. GLP-1–based medicines commonly cause gastrointestinal symptoms and have important warnings and contraindications. Stimulant-based treatments may affect blood pressure, pulse, anxiety or sleep.
We review risks such as pregnancy, pancreatitis history, gallbladder disease, kidney disease, seizure risk, eating disorders, opioid use, uncontrolled hypertension and relevant personal or family history before prescribing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you offer GLP-1 weight-loss treatment near The Woodlands?
Yes. Vitality Medical Clinic evaluates eligible patients for evidence-based weight-management treatments, which may include semaglutide or tirzepatide when medically appropriate and accessible.
Which medication causes the most weight loss?
In separate pivotal trials, tirzepatide produced average reductions of approximately 15% to 21%, while semaglutide 2.4 mg produced approximately 15% average weight loss. Results cannot be guaranteed, and the best choice depends on safety, health conditions, side effects, availability and coverage.
Can I take phentermine instead of a GLP-1 medication?
Possibly. Phentermine or phentermine/topiramate may be considered after reviewing blood pressure, heart history, anxiety, sleep, other medications and contraindications.
Does insurance cover medical weight-loss medication?
Coverage varies significantly by employer plan and insurer. Some plans exclude obesity medications even when medically indicated. Our office can discuss available options, but coverage and prior authorization approval are determined by the health plan.
Will I regain weight after stopping medication?
Weight regain can occur after medication is discontinued. A long-term plan involving nutrition, physical activity, behavior, medical follow-up and an appropriate maintenance strategy may reduce this risk.
