With the rising prevalence of obesity, medical weight loss treatments have become a trusted option for individuals struggling to lose weight through diet and exercise alone.
At The Valley Pharmacy, we offer prescription weight loss injections that have been clinically proven to help patients lose significant weight when combined with lifestyle changes.
What Weight Loss Treatments Do We Offer?
We currently offer the following GLP-1 weight-loss medications:
- Wegovy (Semaglutide) – A GLP-1 receptor agonist that helps control appetite, slow digestion, and reduce food cravings. Patients can lose up to 15% of their body weight with Wegovy.
- Mounjaro (Tirzepatide) – A dual-acting GLP-1 and GIP receptor agonist which enhances weight loss results. Studies show patients can lose up to 22.5% of their body weight, making it one of the most effective weight loss injections available.
Both medications are self-administered, once-weekly injections designed for long-term weight management.
Why losing weight matters
Being overweight or obese can have serious health implications, including:
- Increased risk of heart disease, stroke, and high cholesterol
- Greater likelihood of joint pain, mobility issues, and arthritis
- Higher chance of developing type 2 diabetes
- Increased risk of mental health challenges, including low self-esteem and depression
Losing even 5-10% of your body weight can significantly improve health markers, helping you feel more energetic, confident, and in control of your well-being.
