Simplify your weight loss journey with prescription appetite suppressants that help curb cravings, reduce overeating, and support healthy fat loss. At True Skin & Wellness, our providers guide you with options we truly believe in and use ourselves.
Curb Hunger and Support
Weight Loss
Appetite suppressants are prescription medications that help turn down your hunger signals so eating less feels more natural (and way less like a daily battle). They work by influencing brain chemicals that control appetite and fullness, helping you feel satisfied sooner and curb constant cravings. At True Skin & Wellness, we offer phentermine and Tenuate Dospan: two science-backed options used as short-term tools to jump-start weight loss while you build healthier habits around nutrition and movement.
Appetite Suppressants Help With:
- Persistent hunger and frequent cravings
- Overeating and portion control challenges
- Weight gain related to increased appetite
- Difficulty sticking to calorie-controlled plans
- Plateaued weight loss despite diet and exercise
- Low motivation caused by slow progress
Your Appetite Suppressant Options
Phentermine
Phentermine works by stimulating the release of norepinephrine in your brain, a chemical that helps control hunger. In simple terms, it tells your brain you’re not as hungry, so eating less feels easier and more natural. Clinical data shows an average weight loss of 3% of starting body weight at three months and 5-7% at six months when paired with healthy lifestyle changes.
Tenuate Dospan
Tenuate Dospan (diethylpropion extended-release) works in a similar way, influencing brain chemicals that regulate appetite and cravings. It helps you feel satisfied sooner and reduces the urge to overeat. Effectiveness is comparable to phentermine for short-term use, with many patients losing several pounds per month when combined with nutrition guidance.
Benefits of Appetite Suppressants:
- Help reduce constant hunger and cravings
- Make portion control feel more manageable
- Support steady, short-term weight loss
- Easier to stick to nutrition and exercise plans
- Can help break frustrating weight loss plateaus
- May be combined with BHRT and vitamin injections
Your Appetite Suppressant Experience
Consultation
You’ll start with a one-on-one visit, during which we talk through your goals, health history, medications, and weight loss experiences. Our providers check your weight, blood pressure, and vital signs, and make sure appetite suppressants are a safe option for you. You’ll learn how the medication works, what to expect, and how to use it correctly for optimal results.
Treatment
Once prescribed, you’ll take your appetite suppressant by mouth each day, usually in the morning, to help control hunger throughout the day. We’ll schedule a follow-up about two weeks after you start to check your weight, blood pressure, and how you’re feeling. After that, you’ll return every 30 days for monitoring and refills.
Side Effects
Most people jump right back into daily life. Common side effects may include dry mouth, mild insomnia, dizziness, headache, or feeling a little jittery, especially during the first few days. These usually settle as your body adjusts. We’ll check in at your two-week follow-up to make sure everything feels comfortable and adjust dosage as needed.
Results
Many patients notice appetite changes within the first few days to one week. On average, people lose about 3% of their starting weight after three months and 5-7% after six months. These medications are used short term (typically 3-6 months) while you build sustainable habits like a healthy diet and regular exercise, which can then help you sustain the results over time.
