Be Your Best Self
At ABQ Medical Spa, we offer effective medical weight loss prescriptions, including Semaglutide and Tirzepatide. These medications are administered after a brief consultation with one of our knowledgeable Nurse Practitioners. During this consultation, we conduct a thorough health history review to ensure each prescription is appropriate for your individual needs.
Weight Loss
- Semaglutide & Tirzepatide: are revolutionary GLP-1 receptor agonists that were originally developed for patients with Type 2 diabetes, but when providers and pharmaceutical developers noticed how much weight their patients were losing, they began to study GLP-1 medications exclusively for weight loss. A series of clinical trials known as the STEP clinical trials demonstrated that almost 90% of patients lost 5% or more of their body weight. There is no other weight loss drug on the market that compares. The FDA approved Semaglutide (Ozempic), for weight loss, in June of 2022 and Tirzepatide (Mounjaro), in November of 2023.

- Metabolic Role: Choline acts as a precursor to acetylcholine, aids in lipid metabolism, and prevents liver fat accumulation.
- Vitamin Support: Cyanocobalamin (B12) supports hematopoiesis, neural function, DNA/RNA production, and metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins.
- Additional Benefits: Enhances iron function and assists in choline synthesis.
Glutathione – The Body’s Master Antioxidant
L-Glutathione, or simply glutathione, is a potent antioxidant composed of amino acids' cysteine, glycine, and glutamic acid. It serves multiple vital functions in the body:
- Mitochondrial Function: Vital for mitochondrial function and DNA production.
