Our medication toolkit

Found offers the widest range of medications to address biological challenges that make weight loss more difficult. Found's board-certified providers prescribe medications to help with the following:

Suppress appetite

Stabilize blood sugar levels

Control cravings

Below is a list of all medications and combinations offered to new and existing members who qualify. Click on the medication name to learn more.

Metformin is a plant-derived off-label option for weight loss, appetite control, and sugar/carbohydrate craving control. It may help people be more adherent to a low carbohydrate diet for those on that type of plan.

Bupropion is an effective off-label option for weight loss which works by reducing appetite and cravings.

Topiramate is used for many medical conditions such as migraines, seizures, and nerve pain but also is a helpful off-label option for weight loss which works by reducing hunger and cravings. Topiramate can be prescribed alone, in combination with other medication, or sometimes to counteract the weight gain potential of certain medicines.

Naltrexone is an off-label option for weight loss which works by treating cravings and compulsive eating.

Naltrexone and Bupropion is a well studied off-label combination which helps treat binging and cravings and is also helpful for people who feel “addicted to food”.

Zonisamide is an effective off-label medication for appetite and craving control. It can be used alone or in combination with other medications to help target multiple mechanisms of weight loss.

Bupropion and Zonisamide is an off-label combination of medications that can reduce overall hunger, increase fullness, and help with overeating and cravings.

Some of the medications our medical providers prescribe are FDA-approved for weight loss; others are FDA-approved medications but not for the indication of weight loss, a practice known as “off-label” prescribing. Found affiliated medical providers prescribe these off-label medications only when there is sufficient clinical evidence to support the use of a medicine and only after a medical provider has reviewed a member’s particular health history and made a determination that the medicine is safe for the particular member.

A whole-body approach to weight care

Millions of Americans struggle with losing weight and keeping it off, but we believe you don’t have to do it alone. In a world that tells you that simply eating less and moving more is all you need, we know that when these habits don’t yield results you may feel like it’s your fault. You may think it’s a matter of willpower, but the truth is that your weight is deeply influenced by your biology.

We believe that when people are given the care, medication, coaching, and support they need, not only do they finally start seeing results but they also build healthier, lasting habits that make weight loss sustainable. Found is built by a team of board-certified medical providers specialized in weight management and behavioral health experts that provide science-backed lifestyle guidance on nutrition, exercise, sleep, movement, and more to help you take control of your health.

We combine a prescription medication plan customized to your goals with science-backed lifestyle guidance from our network of health coaches and an in-app supportive community. No fad diets, no restriction, no calorie counting (unless you want to).

BLACK BOX WARNING: METFORMIN MAY CAUSE LACTIC ACIDOSIS

Postmarketing cases of metformin-associated lactic acidosis have resulted in death, hypothermia, hypotension, and resistant bradyarrhythmias. Symptoms included malaise, myalgias, respiratory distress, somnolence, dizziness, changes in heart rate/rhythm, and abdominal pain. Laboratory abnormalities included elevated blood lactate levels, anion gap acidosis, increased lactate/pyruvate ratio; and metformin plasma levels generally >5 mcg/mL. In more than 20,000 patient-years exposure to metformin in clinical trials, there were no reports of lactic acidosis. Reported cases have occurred primarily in diabetic patients with significant renal insufficiency, including both intrinsic renal disease and renal hypoperfusion, often in the setting of multiple concomitant medical/surgical problems and multiple concomitant medications.

Risk factors include renal impairment, concomitant use of certain drugs, age ≥65 years old, radiological studies with contrast, surgery and other procedures, hypoxic states, excessive alcohol intake, and hepatic impairment. Lactic acidosis is a medical emergency and requires immediate treatment in the hospital.

WARNING

Before using metformin, tell your healthcare provider about your medical history, especially if you have:

kidney disease
heart disease or congestive heart failure
liver disease
metabolic acidosis or diabetic ketoacidosis
high ketone levels in your blood or urine
you use insulin or other diabetes medications

Talk to your healthcare provider if you are planning to become pregnant or if pregnant or breastfeeding. Avoid alcohol while taking this medication. Talk to your healthcare provider about discontinuing metformin prior to a surgical procedure or an iodinated contrast imaging procedure. Stop metformin and notify your healthcare provider immediately if you have an illness with severe diarrhea and/or vomiting resulting in dehydration.

Side effects

Many people experience no side effects while taking metformin. The most common side effects of metformin include:

diarrhea
nausea/vomiting
upset stomach (gas, bloating, and stomach cramps)

These symptoms may subside after the body adjusts to the medication. Taking your medicine with the evening meal can help reduce these side effects.

Additional but rare side effects include:

low blood sugar (hypoglycemia)
feeling cold
unusual muscle pain
dizziness
slow or irregular heart rate
trouble breathing
metallic taste
changes to nails on fingers and toes
Low b12 levels

Drug interactions

As with other medications, metformin can interact with alcohol and certain medications, including angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, beta-blockers, corticosteroids, hormone replacement therapy and estrogens, oral contraceptives, carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, nifedipine, thiazides or furosemide and other diuretics, phenothiazines, phenytoin, nicotinic acid (niacin), multidrug and toxin extrusion inhibitors, sympathomimetics, calcium channel blockers, isoniazid (antibiotic for tuberculosis), insulin and glyburide or other medications for diabetes, and medications for thyroid disease.

Please consult the pharmaceutical packaging for a full list of side effects, warnings, interactions and additional information.

To report suspected adverse reactions to metformin contact the FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch.

In case of emergencies, please call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.
