Hold Plenity While Patients Are Admitted

January 2021

You may see the new Plenity for weight loss on home med lists...as patients work to keep New Year's resolutions.

Each 3-capsule dose of Plenity consists of thousands of cellulose hydrogel particles that expand to occupy about a quarter of the stomach. It's taken 20 to 30 min before lunch AND dinner with 16 oz of water.

Using Plenity for 6 months leads to about 2% more weight loss than placebo, or 4 lb for a 200 lb patient.
