WEIGHT LOSS MEDICATION

Topi

An anticonvulsant with remarkable weight loss properties — proven to help patients lose significantly more weight than placebo, especially when combined with phentermine.

More than an anticonvulsant

Topiramate is an anticonvulsant commonly used for the treatment of seizures or migraines — but studies have revealed something remarkable: patients lost more weight with topiramate alone than with placebo.

And even more weight is lost when combined with phentermine, making it a powerful tool in medically supervised weight management.

FDA Approved

In 2012, the FDA approved a combination of phentermine and topiramate, better known as Qsymia. The down side to Qsymia is that, often times, insurance will not cover this medication and it can be fairly expensive.

Here, we prescribe phentermine and topiramate separately making it more cost effective and easier to adjust dosing to achieve optimal results.
