These medications are not recommended for use while pregnant or if you are planning to become pregnant. They are also not recommended while breastfeeding or if you are planning to breastfeed. As with any weight-loss medication, we highly recommend it be taken in combination with a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet and regular exercise to be most effective.

Name brand prescriptions are sent to the pharmacy of your choice. The price of these medications is determined by your pharmacy and your insurance coverage. Your health insurance may or may not pay for the medication. You are encouraged to call your insurance company and inquire about your plan yourself to make sure the medication is covered. We highly recommend that you do this first because the medication you would like to try may be an excluded medication from your insurance plan's medication formulary.

Manufacturer's coupons may be available on the medication's official website to use in conjunction with commercial health insurance coverage.
