Medical Weight Loss Medications in Murrieta, CA

Weight Loss Medication as Part of a Medical Program

Prescription medication is one tool that may be considered as part of a medically supervised weight-management program.

When appropriate for an individual patient, treatment may include:

• In-person medical evaluation
• Review of medical history and current medications
• Regular weigh-ins
• Blood pressure monitoring
• Body Composition Analysis
• Nutrition and lifestyle guidance
• Ongoing medical follow-up
• Medication monitoring
• Treatment adjustments based on progress and clinical needs

Our goal is not simply to provide medication. Treatment decisions are based on each patient’s health, history, goals and response to care.

What Types of Weight Loss Medication Programs Are Available?

Tri Valley Medical Weight Control offers several medically supervised weight-management options based on individual patient needs and provider recommendations.

Medication selection depends on medical history, current medications, treatment goals, potential risks and clinical eligibility.

Prescription Weight Loss Medications

For eligible patients, prescription weight-loss medications may be considered as part of a comprehensive medically supervised weight-loss program.

Phentermine

Phentermine is a prescription weight-loss medication that may help reduce appetite and may be considered for eligible patients when medically appropriate.

Before prescribing phentermine, a licensed medical provider reviews factors that may include:

• Medical history
• Current medications and supplements
• Blood pressure
• Potential contraindications
• Previous treatment history
• Individual weight-management goals

Patients using phentermine receive ongoing medical monitoring, and continuation of treatment remains subject to provider evaluation.

Phendimetrazine

Phendimetrazine is a prescription weight-loss medication used for appetite management that may be considered for certain eligible patients as part of a medically supervised weight-loss program.

As with all prescription treatment, eligibility is determined individually after medical evaluation.

The medical team considers health history, current medications, blood pressure, potential risks and treatment goals before determining whether phendimetrazine may be appropriate.

Ongoing treatment requires medical follow-up and provider approval.

GLP-1 Weight Management Programs

For eligible patients, Tri Valley Medical Weight Control also provides medically supervised GLP-1 weight-management programs.

GLP-1 treatment works differently from traditional prescription weight-loss medications and requires appropriate medical evaluation and ongoing follow-up.

Patients receiving GLP-1 treatment are monitored by a licensed medical provider to evaluate:

• Progress
• Medication tolerance
• Side effects
• Changes in health or medications
• Whether continued treatment remains medically appropriate

When medically appropriate, GLP-1 treatment at Tri Valley may involve compounded medication prescribed by a licensed medical provider.

Compounded medications are not FDA-approved and are not generic or brand-name versions of FDA-approved drugs.

Because medication choice is individualized, patients should discuss available GLP-1 treatment options directly with their medical provider.
