Prescription Weight Loss Medication & Treatment Online

At DrHouse, we provide a convenient and accessible solution for individuals seeking effective weight management through a combination of medical guidance, lifestyle support, and FDA-approved weight loss medications.

Through our telehealth platform, we aim to bring quality weight loss consultations directly to you, ensuring privacy and flexibility in managing your weight loss journey.

Prescription weight loss medication

Prescription weight loss medications play a pivotal role in assisting individuals who struggle to lose weight through diet and exercise alone.

Unlike over-the-counter supplements, these medications are clinically tested and proven to work by affecting appetite regulation, metabolism, and even nutrient absorption.

For individuals with a body mass index (BMI) over 30—or 27 if they have weight-related medical conditions—prescription options like Zepbound offer an evidence-based approach to weight loss.

Zepbound: A unique approach to weight loss

At DrHouse, we currently offer Zepbound which is an advanced injectable medication designed for adults facing challenges with obesity or weight-related health issues.

Zepbound contains tirzepatide, which activates receptors for two key hormones: glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1).

These hormones work together to reduce appetite and decrease food intake, helping individuals achieve substantial weight loss.

Clinical results and effectiveness

Zepbound has shown remarkable results in clinical studies, making it a leading choice for prescription weight loss.

In a 72-week study, participants who took the highest dose of Zepbound (15 mg) achieved an average weight loss of approximately 20.9%, or 48 pounds—a significant reduction that outpaced diet and exercise alone.

These outcomes highlight the potential of Zepbound to support meaningful and sustained weight loss for individuals who meet specific medical criteria.

Who should consider Zepbound?

Zepbound is intended for adults with obesity (BMI ≥30) or those with excess weight (BMI ≥27) and at least one weight-related medical condition, such as hypertension, type 2 diabetes, or sleep apnea.

It’s essential that Zepbound be paired with lifestyle modifications, including a reduced-calorie diet and regular physical activity, to maximize its effectiveness and support long-term health improvements.

Personalized treatment plans

At DrHouse, we believe that each person’s weight loss journey is unique. During your initial consultation, our medical team will conduct a thorough review of your health history, lifestyle, and weight loss goals.

Based on these insights, we create a treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. This plan may include:

• Dietary and physical activity guidance: Personalized recommendations to support sustainable weight loss alongside Zepbound.
• Regular check-ins: Follow-up appointments to track progress, adjust treatment as needed, and address any questions or challenges.
• Continued support: Ongoing encouragement and guidance to help maintain motivation and accountability throughout your journey.
