Available Treatments in Rhode Island
Our board-certified providers in Rhode Island can prescribe and manage the following treatment options
Semaglutide
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that reduces appetite and slows gastric emptying, helping patients achieve significant, sustained weight loss. Originally developed for type 2 diabetes management, semaglutide has become one of the most clinically effective weight loss medications available.
Tirzepatide
Tirzepatide is a dual GLP-1 and GIP receptor agonist that produces even greater weight loss than semaglutide alone. It addresses appetite, blood sugar regulation, and metabolic rate through two complementary hormonal pathways for superior outcomes.
Tesofensine
Tesofensine is a triple monoamine reuptake inhibitor that suppresses appetite and boosts metabolism through dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin pathways. Originally developed as an anti-Parkinson's agent, it showed exceptional weight loss properties in clinical trials.
Retatrutide
Retatrutide (LY3437943) is a 39-amino acid synthetic peptide and triple receptor agonist targeting GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon receptors simultaneously. Currently in Phase 3 clinical trials (TRIUMPH program), it produced 24.2% average weight loss at 48 weeks in Phase 2 data — the highest weight reduction observed in any peptide trial to date.
