Weight management adheres to a multi-faceted lifestyle model that’s comprised of several interrelated decisions and activities such as:

eating healthy foods;
understanding portion sizes,
nutritional values, and macronutrient ratios;
creating a holistic exercise regimen that works with your schedule,
incorporates your interests, is dynamic enough to prevent burnout, and sets reasonable goals; and
accessing the wealth of safe, clinically proven, prescription weight management medications that are currently available.

Revitalife Compounding Pharmacy is dedicated to providing the resources health professionals need to aid their patients in achieving and maintaining ideal body weight goals, as they strive to improve their health-related conditions and overall quality of life.

Weight Management Medications

Revitalife Compounded Pharmacy, an industry leader in the provision of prescription-only customized weight loss formulations, uses compounding to create customized medications for clinical weight management programs which greatly aid the exercise and diet components of holistic treatment. Some of our most commonly requested weight-management products are cited below:

Appetite suppressants

Appetite suppressants affect the appetite-regulating region of the brain called the hypothalamus, and work within the brain by blocking the re-uptake of the chemicals serotonin and norepinephrine to improve satiety.
1. Phentermine Capsules
2. Diethylpropion Capsules
3. Phendimetrazine Capsules

Lipotropics / Fat burning shots (MIC complex)

The amino acids that are injected into the body stimulate the liver into optimizing the process of metabolism. These injections boost the body’s metabolic power by providing a highly effective temporary increase of normal metabolic functions. As soon as the effect of these substances wears off, the body begins to gradually return to its normal metabolic rate. When administered in combination with a low-calorie diet and regular exercise, our lipotropic formulas can help your body to rid itself of fat, while simultaneously increasing your energy levels both via the fat released energy and the energy promoting properties of vitamin B-12.
- Lipotropics / Fat Burning Shots consist of:
  1. Methionine
  2. Inositol
  3. Choline chloride
  4. L-carnitine
  5. Thiamine
  6. Dexpanthenol
  7. Methylcobalamin

Storage: Store this medication at 68°F to 77°F (20°C to 25°C) and away from heat, moisture and light. Keep all medicine out of the reach of children. Throw away any unused medicine after the beyond use date. Do not flush unused medications or pour down a sink or drain.
