Tesofensine is a drug initially researched for treating Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, but it was found to cause significant weight loss in overweight or obese patients. This discovery shifted its development focus towards obesity treatment.

Tesofensine works by inhibiting the reuptake of the neurotransmitters serotonin, noradrenaline, and dopamine, which are involved in regulating appetite and metabolism. By affecting these neurotransmitters, tesofensine increases the feeling of fullness and reduces appetite, leading to decreased food intake and potential weight loss. Clinical trials have shown that Tesofensine can lead to significant weight loss in obese individuals. Results have shown a loss of 8-10% body weight loss can be achieved within 24 weeks. 

Tesofensine medications are clinically tested, do not contain stimulants, and are not addictive. Side effects are very uncommon, with the majority of users experiencing none. Nausea is the most frequently reported side effect, but it usually subsides within the first few weeks of treatment.

If any side effects occur, please contact us immediately to discuss the possibility of discontinuing use. Other common side effects may include: nausea, vomiting, upset stomach, stomach pain, constipation, diarrhea, heartburn, acid reflux, belching and gas, dizziness, headaches and fatigue.

Recent clinical trials indicate that less than 5% of individuals stop using Tesofensine due to side effects. In the rare event that side effects prevent continued participation in the program, participants are given the option to continue in our concierge program.

Tesofensine is typically taken orally once daily. It's important for patients to follow the dosage and frequency instructions provided by their healthcare provider or as indicated on the medication guide. Adjustments to the dosage or frequency should only be made under medical supervision, as improper use can increase the risk of side effects or reduce the drug's effectiveness.
