How prescription diet medications work at Persona
What these medications are
Persona prescribes customized diet medications for medically supervised weight management. The core options are FDA-approved generic appetite suppressants.
Appetite suppressants reduce hunger and cravings. That makes a reduced-calorie diet easier to follow.
They act on the neurotransmitters in the brain that control appetite. A licensed physician decides whether a prescription is appropriate for you.
The medication options
Phentermine is the most widely used of the appetite suppressants Persona prescribes, and it is where most consultations start.
The other options are phendimetrazine, diethylpropion and phentermine-topiramate. Each has its own page on this site if you want to read more before your visit.
If you would rather ask about GLP-1 medications, you can raise that during your consultation and read the GLP-1 hub on this site.
Who the program is for
This program is for adults who want weight management with a licensed physician involved. Your medication is chosen from an individualized clinical assessment, not from a fixed list.
No special or pre-packaged food is required. Exercise is encouraged, but the program does not depend on it.
Individual results vary. Questions about your own health, your symptoms or any medication you already take belong with a licensed provider.
What a month looks like
The visit happens online. Your medication is delivered directly to you.
Dosing is personalized by your physician, and your physician monitors your progress with regular check-ins. Those check-ins continue after the first month.
