WEIGHT LOSS PROGRAM INFORMED CONSENT

By signing below, I acknowledge that I have read and fully understand the details of the weight loss program outlined in this informed consent. I agree to the terms of the program, which may include the following components:

  • Balanced calorie-deficit diet
  • Vitamins with amino acid complex injections
  • Regular exercise program
  • Behavior modification techniques
  • Use of appetite suppressant medications and Semaglutide

I understand that my program may involve the use of appetite suppressants for durations longer than the typical recommendation found in the medication package insert. I am also aware that, as with any medical treatment, there are associated risks, though there are also significant benefits related to weight loss.

Weight Loss Benefits

I understand that weight loss can improve various obesity-related conditions, including:

  • High blood pressure
  • High cholesterol
  • Sleep apnea
  • Arthritis
  • Diabetes
  • Increased energy levels
  • Reduced aches and pains
  • Improved mobility and breathing
  • Better sleep quality and restfulness
  • Prevention of angina and chest pain
  • Reduced risk of heart disease, stroke, and sudden death
  • Improved blood sugar levels

These benefits are more significant in individuals who are more overweight, though I understand that the associated risks may be modest if I am not significantly overweight.

Risks of Appetite Suppressant Medications

I understand that while appetite suppressants, such as Phentermine, have been safely used by millions of people, there are potential side effects and risks, including but not limited to:

Phentermine Risks

  • Common symptoms: Depression, drowsiness, increased blood pressure, irritability
  • Less common/rare symptoms: Blurred vision, confusion, diarrhea, dizziness, dry mouth, headache, irregular heartbeat, vomiting, stomach pain, tiredness, heart palpitations, chest pain, shortness of breath
  • Potential long-term side effects: Dizziness, hair loss, gall bladder disease, and other medical complications

Semaglutide Risks

  • Possible risks: Acute pancreatitis, diabetic retinopathy, hypoglycemia (especially if using insulin), acute kidney injury due to dehydration, hypersensitivity reactions, acute gallbladder disease

I understand that the program provides medical supervision to help minimize these risks.

Program Participation

I understand that much of the success of this program depends on my efforts, and that there are no guarantees or assurances that the program will be successful. I acknowledge that obesity may be a chronic, lifelong condition that requires permanent changes in eating habits and behavior to treat effectively.

Injection-Related Risks

If injections are part of my treatment, I understand that potential risks may include:

  • Abscess
  • Cellulitis
  • Tissue necrosis
  • Granuloma
  • Muscle fibrosis
  • Contractures
  • Hematoma
  • Injury to blood vessels, bones, and peripheral nerves

Medication Disclosure

I agree to inform my doctor of all prescriptions and over-the-counter medications I am currently taking. I understand that Phentermine should not be used in combination with certain substances, including:

  • Cocaine
  • Caffeine
  • Cold medicines
  • Asthma rescue medications
  • SSRIs, SNRIs, MAOIs, etc.

I understand that Phentermine is not recommended for use by:

  • Children under the age of 17
  • Adults over the age of 65
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding women
  • Individuals with significant health issues (e.g., heart disease, hypertension, kidney disease, psychiatric disorders, etc.)

Phentermine Regulations

I understand that Phentermine is a Schedule IV controlled substance and that there are strict regulations regarding its dispensing. Once prescribed, I will not receive a replacement or refill except in compliance with federal and state guidelines. If I lose my prescription or the medication is disposed of, I understand that I will need to return for an office visit to receive a new prescription. There will be no exceptions to these regulations.

False Positive Drug Test

I acknowledge that Phentermine may cause a false positive on drug tests for amphetamines. Upon request, my physician will provide documentation to confirm that I am prescribed Phentermine.

Medication Storage and Safety

I agree to store all medications, including Phentermine, out of reach of children, in a cool, dry place, away from heat and direct light. I understand that outdated medications should not be used after their expiration date.

Prescription Dispensation

If a prescription for an appetite suppressant is issued, I may choose to fill it at any pharmacy; however, I understand that I can have it filled at Right Weight Clinics LLC for my convenience.
