The Truth About Weight Loss Pills
Despite much media hype about miracle cures, weight loss has no magic pills. Dr Aron has often blogged FDA warnings regarding many popular OTC supplements.
Our program incorporates clinically proven, and safe, weight loss medications, if and when appropriate for the candidate patient.
From our website:
“Several safe and effective prescription medicines and natural supplements can be used to suppress hunger and add support to your diet and lifestyle. Appetite suppressants do work, and can be very useful in kick-starting your weight loss. They also increase your metabolism, and your energy level. Prescription medications, for example, have been shown to increase weight loss by 50-100%.”
Prospective patients often call to ask us about phentermine and other treatments; We have a number of online resources outlining the differences between real, effective treatments vs hyped false remedies.
