Medical Weight Loss in Plantation, Florida
Tailored to Your Unique Needs
Medical weight management begins with an individual assessment. When appropriate, the plan may include prescription medication, nutrition, activity and follow-up. FDA approval applies to a specific product and indication; medications used for diabetes are not automatically approved for weight management.
Medication choice depends on eligibility, health history, contraindications, interactions and current prescribing information. Ask Dr. Berens about potential benefits, risks, alternatives and costs before starting treatment.
