Qysmia in Jackson, Mt. Juliet, Nashville & Paris, TN

At VIP Weight Loss, Anti-Aging, and Quick Care, we offer Qysmia, a prescription medication that combines two proven weight loss aids—phentermine and topiramate. Qysmia is designed to help individuals struggling with obesity or weight-related issues achieve significant weight loss when combined with a balanced diet and regular physical activity. This dual-action medication works by reducing appetite and increasing feelings of fullness, making it easier to adhere to a calorie-restricted diet and achieve your weight loss goals.

What is Qysmia?

Qysmia is a prescription weight loss medication that combines phentermine, an appetite suppressant, with topiramate, a drug originally used to treat epilepsy and migraines. This combination targets multiple pathways in the brain to reduce hunger, increase satiety, and curb cravings. Qysmia is specifically formulated for individuals who are significantly overweight and have not been able to achieve lasting weight loss through diet and exercise alone.

Concerns Targeted by Qysmia

• Obesity and Overweight: Qysmia is approved for use in adults with a BMI of 30 or higher, or a BMI of 27 or higher with obesity-related health conditions.
• Persistent Cravings: The topiramate component of Qysmia helps reduce cravings for unhealthy foods, making it easier to stick to a healthy diet.
• Difficulty Maintaining Weight Loss: Qysmia not only helps initiate weight loss but also assists in maintaining it over time by reducing appetite and preventing weight regain.
• Slow Metabolism: The combination of phentermine and topiramate can help boost metabolism, aiding in more effective weight loss.

Who is a Good Candidate for Qysmia?

• Adults with a BMI of 30 or higher: Qysmia is intended for individuals who are clinically obese and need help achieving significant weight loss.
• Adults with a BMI of 27 or higher with comorbidities: If you have weight-related health issues such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol, Qysmia may be a suitable option as part of a comprehensive weight management plan.
• Individuals struggling with diet adherence: If you find it difficult to stick to a calorie-restricted diet due to cravings or lack of satiety, Qysmia can help you stay on track.
• Patients who have tried other weight loss methods without success: If diet and exercise alone have not resulted in significant weight loss, Qysmia may provide the additional support needed to achieve your goals.
