How do the Medications Work?
We dispense prescription appetite suppressants, these medications have been used safely and effectively for over 40 years.

Prescription weight loss medications really do work but they are not miracles. Studies show they can improve both the rate and amount of weight lost in people following a reasonable program of diet and exercise by increasing metabolic rate and reducing food intake. The effect tends to diminish but not vanish over time and so weight loss medications generally only help.
Reduce uses medication as a part of a much larger program of education, motivation, behavior modification, dietary change and exercise to help our patients achieve the greatest amount of LIVABLE and SUSTAINABLE weight loss.
To Our Patients:
Due to the Corona Virus, Reduce has set some new social distancing procedures for office visits. It is our goal to keep our offices open and although the situation is fluid, we are working diligently to make it possible for you to continue your weight loss program during the challenging weeks ahead.
We are also implementing a call-in procedure for returning patients who are able to take their own blood pressure. Upon approval, you can pick up refill prescriptions from the office.
Call-In Procedure:
Please call the office during their normal business hours. (Tuesdays 9am -1pm, Wednesday 2pm – 6pm and Thursday 9am – 1pm). If a staff member does not answer, then leave your name and phone number. A staff member will return your call.
When you receive the call please let the practitioner know your blood pressure. The practitioner will ask whether you have any medical issues to go over or questions to be answered.
You can come to the office to pick up your medications during office hours and you will need to present your photo ID. You may pay by cash or credit card at the office.
This new procedure is set up to minimize contact.
Thank you,
