What is the pharmacological treatment for weight loss?
Pharmacological treatment for weight loss is a medical approach that uses the most current prescription medication, supervised by a professional, to help reduce body weight in individuals with overweight or obesity who have not achieved satisfactory results with diet and exercise alone. It also shows great results in patients who have had intragastric balloons placed or have undergone bariatric surgery and have regained weight.
It is not a miracle solution, but a controlled medical treatment that acts on different mechanisms of the body: at the cerebral, metabolic, and hormonal levels.
Types of treatments
Drugs that reduce appetite among other positive effects
These drugs are analogs of intestinal hormones that act on receptors in the central nervous system, on metabolism through hormonal receptors, and on the functioning of the stomach, helping to decrease the sensation of appetite, increase the feeling of satiety, utilizing blood glucose by increasing insulin secretion and on glucagon receptors for metabolism control. With these combined effects, they help control the amount of food ingested, increase nutrient utilization, avoid fat reserve accumulation, and boost metabolism.
Combined or personalized treatments
In all cases, a personalized approach is used, adjusting the type of medication, dosage, and treatment plan to each patient.
What is the process of pharmacological treatment?
Pharmacological treatment for weight loss follows a structured and personalized medical process, designed to ensure safety, efficacy, and sustainable results. It is not just about prescribing a medication, but about accompanying the patient in a weight loss and control plan.
Personalized medical assessment
The first consultation is conducted with the same doctor who will monitor you to prescribe the appropriate individualized therapeutic regimen. A complete medical history will be taken, with anamnesis and a comprehensive assessment of your body condition, including weight, Body Mass Index (BMI), body fat, skeletal muscle mass, visceral fat, and basal metabolism, among other determinations. A complete analytical determination will also be requested.
Selection of the most appropriate treatment
Once the assessment is completed, the doctor decides on the most appropriate medication based on the patient's metabolic profile, the degree of overweight or obesity, their eating behavior, and realistic weight loss goals. In this phase, it is explained in detail how the treatment works, how it should be used, and what results can be expected. A prescription is provided with the corresponding prescription for the appropriate medication.
Start of treatment and habit plan
The start of the treatment is always accompanied by a sustainable healthy habit plan, taking into account the importance of prioritizing quality of life. The medication is integrated into a program that includes nutritional recommendations, progressive lifestyle changes, and physical activity guidelines adapted to each person. The goal is to enhance the treatment results and consolidate them in a lasting way. The medical prescription with the prescribed medication is provided.
Periodic medical follow-up
Throughout the treatment, periodic medical check-ups are carried out every 3 months to evaluate weight and body composition evolution, adjust the dose or regimen if necessary, check treatment tolerance, and resolve any possible side effects. This follow-up is key to maintaining motivation and ensuring correct adherence to the plan. The patient can contact the doctor whenever they have questions or need a new prescription, even by phone.
Consolidation of results
When the set goal is reached, the medical team designs a maintenance phase aimed at avoiding the rebound effect, consolidating the acquired habits, and preserving the results in the long term, ensuring a stable and healthy evolution.

Where to get the weight loss treatment
Frequently asked questions about weight loss
What results can I expect?
Weight loss is progressive and safe. Results vary for each person, but it is common to see changes from the first weeks. The goal is a sustainable weight reduction and an improvement in overall health, not a sudden drop.
Is pharmacological treatment safe?
Yes, as long as it is prescribed and supervised by a specialist doctor. At the Instituto de Benito, a complete preliminary assessment and continuous monitoring are carried out to ensure safety and clinical control.
Is it a definitive treatment?
The treatment is a medical aid tool, but it must be accompanied by changes in habits. After reaching the goal, a maintenance phase is entered to avoid the rebound effect. It should be remembered that obesity is a chronic metabolic disease, which may require simple maintenance for a long time.
Does it have side effects?
Like any medication, it can have them, although the vast majority of patients do not experience them. They are usually mild and temporary, and are controlled through medical monitoring and dosage adjustments. If they cannot be controlled, the medication is changed.
How long does the treatment last?
The duration is variable and personalized, depending on the initial weight, the goal, and the response of each patient. The medical team establishes the most appropriate pace in each case.
Can I lead a normal life during the treatment?
Yes, absolutely. The treatment is designed to integrate into your daily life, without the need for rest or special limitations, beyond following medical recommendations. In fact, the quality of life increases with these treatments, as the aim is for the patient to have a normalized relationship with food and to enjoy the three basic meals daily.
What happens if I stop the medication?
That is why the maintenance phase and work on habits are key. The goal is for the weight to be maintained thanks to the acquired changes, not to depend indefinitely on the medication, although it cannot be ruled out that the maintenance dose may need to be extended for a long period of time.
Is it necessary to diet and exercise?
Yes. Medication does not replace a healthy diet or physical exercise, but rather facilitates and enhances them.
What risks exist in pharmacological treatment for weight loss?
Pharmacological treatment for weight loss is safe when correctly indicated and supervised by a specialist doctor, but like any medical treatment, it can present side effects or risks, which must be known transparently.
Most side effects, when they appear, tend to be mild and transient, especially during the first weeks, while the body adapts to the treatment. Among the most common can be nausea, digestive discomfort, a feeling of fullness, changes in bowel movements, or slight general discomfort.
Some patients may also experience headaches, dizziness, or fatigue, which usually resolve by adjusting the dose or over time.
There are also medical contraindications in certain patient profiles, so it is essential to carry out a complete prior medical assessment. Precisely for this reason, this treatment should never be started without medical supervision.
At the Instituto de Benito, all patients are evaluated individually, and during the treatment, periodic follow-up is carried out to:
- Detect any side effects early
- Adjust the regimen if necessary
- Ensure maximum safety and tolerance
The goal is always the same: to achieve effective weight loss, but above all safe and healthy.
