Personalized Medical Weight Management
Weight loss is not one-size-fits-all. At Snider Wellness and Aesthetics, our medical weight management program is built around your health history, goals, current medications, and individual needs.
Your provider may recommend lifestyle changes, nutrition support, prescription weight management medications, or other appropriate options based on your evaluation.
Prescription Weight Management Options
Several prescription medications are available for chronic weight management, including medications in the GLP-1 class.
Some GLP-1 medications have been FDA-approved for specific weight management indications and patient populations. Whether one of these medications is appropriate depends on your medical history, current health, medications, and other clinical factors.
Your provider will review available options and discuss the potential benefits, risks, side effects, and alternatives with you.
Compounded Medications
In certain circumstances, a provider may determine that a patient’s individual medical needs cannot be met by an FDA-approved medication and may consider a compounded medication when permitted by applicable federal and Arizona law.
Compounded medications are not FDA-approved. The FDA does not review compounded medications for safety, effectiveness, or quality in the same manner as FDA-approved drug products.
Snider Wellness and Aesthetics does not represent compounded medications as generic versions of, equivalent to, or the same as FDA-approved medications.
Any compounded medication is considered only after an individualized medical evaluation and when clinically appropriate and legally permitted.
