Weight loss is challenging, especially when you have a lot to lose. A healthy diet and regular exercise certainly help, but sometimes more is needed.
If you're looking to lose a significant amount of weight and are out of options, an appetite suppressant can help with direct supervision from the team at NuvidaRx Weight Loss-Tallahassee Clinic.
Dr. William Lantz Effinger and his team offer several effective treatments for lasting weight loss, including appetite suppressants. These medications help curb your cravings so you can finally lose the weight.
Appetite suppressants are prescription medications that work on your brain to curb your appetite. They help you feel fuller on less food and keep you from craving food, allowing you to lose weight.

Each type of appetite suppressant works differently to curb your appetite and help you lose excess weight. We evaluate your health and weight loss goals to determine which one is best for you.
Appetite suppressants are like any other medication because they have pros and cons and risks of potential side effects.
Being overweight or obese is also dangerous and often leads to certain medical conditions, including diabetes and heart disease. The first step in taking control of your life and health when you're obese is losing weight to lower your BMI.
Appetite suppressants are safe when you take them under the supervision of the NuvidaRx team. If you're significantly overweight with a BMI of over 30, an appetite suppressant can help keep dangerous medical complications away by helping you lose weight.
