Are there oral weight-loss options that are not stimulants?

Yes. Oral treatment is not limited to stimulant medications such as phentermine. MedFIT may also use topiramate, metformin, bupropion, naltrexone or appropriate combinations.

These medicines have different purposes and considerations. “Nonstimulant” does not mean free of side effects or appropriate for everyone. Some weight-management uses are off-label.

Oral medication is a major treatment path at MedFIT. If phentermine did not agree with you, that does not automatically rule out oral treatment.
