Conveniently located to serve Guilford, CT

Weight-loss medications, can be considered if weight-loss levels out at a still unacceptable range after an individual has attempted to lose weight through diet and or exercise or if medical problems are not adequately controlled. One of Yolo’s medical professionals will evaluate you individually to determine if prescription weight loss is appropriate.

Medical Weight Management may be offered to individuals affected by obesity who have failed to achieve weight-loss through diet and exercise alone.

Currently there are several medications that are approved by the FDA for weight-loss:

• phentermine products (Adipex-P® or Suprenza®)*
• orlistat (Xenical® or alli®)†
