While weight-loss drugs and injectables can be an effective short-term strategy, the long-term success and tolerance for side effects of these medications is still being researched.
Qsymia is an FDA-approved prescription medication designed for weight management. Qsymia is primarily meant for people with obesity and overweight adults with weight-related medical problems, including diabetes, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure. New York Bariatric Group’s medical weight loss program uses Qsymia to help patients achieve healthier weights when used alongside a balanced diet and exercise.
Combination of Medications
Qsymia comes in the form of an extended-release capsule, and is made with a combination of the medications phentermine and topiramate. Phentermine is an appetite suppressant, which effectively decreases your appetite to encourage reduced caloric intake. Topiramate is typically used as an anticonvulsant medication for people suffering from seizures. In addition to decreasing the appetite, Qsymia can work by increasing the amount of energy used by the body or affecting certain parts of the brain.
Weight Loss With Qsymia
According to clinical studies, patients taking Qsymia for 56 weeks have lost an average of between 24 and 32 lbs. The specific amount of weight you lose will depend on your dosage, your starting weight, and for how long you take the medication.
