Prescription Drug Program
At The Center for Medical Weight Loss Downtown Miami, your physician understands that telling an individual to eat less when they are overweight is equivalent to telling a person with asthma to stop wheezing. As a diabetic or hypertensive person can't be expected to control his or her disease without a suitable diet and medical program, neither should an overweight person. Recent statistics from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention's National Center for Health Statistics indicate that 33% of American adults are overweight or obese, up 25% since 1980.
Prescription drug medical weight loss programs involve the use of FDA approved prescription diet pills to curb the appetite and jump-start the weight loss process. It also involves an individualized counseling and exercise component as a part of a complete safe and healthy weight loss diet program.
