Articles about weight loss tend to be filled with advice about a healthy diet and regular exercise—and indeed both are important when it comes to losing weight. Unfortunately, for some, diet and exercise just aren’t enough to lose the weight and keep it off. That’s because weight management involves complex physiological processes that can be impacted by a wide range of issues, from hormonal imbalances to a slow metabolism.

For your patients who are having trouble losing weight on their own, and who may have health problems related to being overweight, weight loss medications may be the answer. Studies show that these medications work best when combined with healthy lifestyle changes such as diet and exercise. With your understanding of your patients and their various needs, you can recommend a medical weight management program—one that incorporates medications with lifestyle changes—that’s best suited for each individual patient. And of course, our pharmacist team is always happy to answer any questions you or your patient might have.

At APS Pharmacy, our pharmacists are experts at compounding Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) into patient specific compounds that may be used to help with weight loss. Among some of the APIs we compound with are: naltrexone, B12, caffeine, metformin, and many more. Our APIs can be compounded into several dosage forms, including injectables, sublingual tablets, capsules, and creams. Contact a pharmacist today to discuss options for your patients.
