Weight Loss
Medical Weight Management in Rockville, MD
Weight-management care begins with a medical consultation. Call or text 301-901-7661 to discuss your health history, goals, prior approaches, and whether prescription treatment may be appropriate.
When medication is clinically appropriate, the provider reviews FDA-approved options, eligibility, contraindications, side effects, dosing, monitoring, and alternatives. Compounded products are not FDA-approved and are considered only when a clinician determines that an individual patient’s medical needs cannot be met by an available FDA-approved drug.
What Our Medical Weight-Management Program Includes
- Medical evaluation: Review of health history, medications, goals, and relevant risk factors.
- Individualized treatment planning: Medication is recommended only when clinically appropriate.
- Ongoing monitoring: Follow-up supports dose decisions, side-effect management, and treatment adjustments.
- Lifestyle support: Nutrition, activity, sleep, and sustainable habits remain central to care.
- Clear expectations: Response and treatment duration vary; no specific amount of weight loss is guaranteed.
GLP-1 and related prescription medications have product-specific FDA indications, contraindications, warnings, and dosing schedules. Depending on the medication, they may affect appetite, fullness, gastric emptying, blood sugar, or related metabolic pathways.
The exact medication and dose, if any, are determined after clinical evaluation. Brand-name and compounded products are not interchangeable, and compounded products are not FDA-approved.
