Medicine

Our Medicine section will provide news on prescription products that are made to attend to all different types of conditions. While there are a host of prescription medications out there, for the most part we will focus on “lifestyle medications”. That simply means, optional prescription products that people use for weight loss, anti-aging, performance, muscle growth and the like. To put it plainly, these are medications that insurance companies feel are either lifestyle choices or that are meant to improve a current lifestyle.

While these medications come with a bit of controversy, many of the medications are becoming more mainstream and popular. Having spent some time working in the industry myself, I can confirm that more people use these products than you think.

  • Drugs for Focus and Energy
  • Birth Control
  • Anti-Smoking Drugs used to be in this Category until the ACA
  • Anti-Aging Hormone Therapy
  • Weight Loss Therapy
