How is a prescription tailored to me decided?

Your body's conditions become the basis for your prescription

Tailored strength · When more active weight loss is needed

We carefully design the strength after checking your response to previous prescriptions and your health. If needed, we can consider up to the highest strength among Cheong-dam's diet prescriptions.

Tailored to your reactions · When previous medication was uncomfortable

We check reactions you experienced while taking previous medication, such as palpitations or problems with sleep or digestion. We look at what you took, when, and how much, and reflect this in the herbal composition and dosage.

Tailored to your health · When you have underlying conditions or take medication

We review your conditions, treatment status, and current medications together. We first decide whether weight-loss treatment is possible, then identify components to avoid and aspects to adjust.

So that "custom" makes a real difference in the prescription

Starting with an individual herbal composition

Unlike herbal medicine sticks, which are chosen from a set group of prescriptions, custom herbal medicine starts by deciding the herbal composition and dosage for each person based on the examination.

Changes during weight loss inform the next prescription

We don't only check weight and appetite. We look at sleep, digestion, overall condition, and your response to the medication to reassess the strength and composition of subsequent prescriptions.

We don't start everyone on the strongest prescription. Deciding the level your body needs, within a range that can be designed up to a high strength, is the standard of Cheong-dam's custom herbal medicine.

FAQ

For any other questions, please ask when booking your visit.

Is custom herbal medicine stronger than herbal medicine sticks?

At Cheong-dam, custom herbal medicine allows us to design prescriptions up to the highest strength. However, not every custom prescription is made strong. We individually decide the strength needed based on your weight-loss goal, health, and response to previous medication.

Is it possible if I've had side effects from other medications?

We first check the medication you took, the symptoms you had at the time, and how things went after stopping. Based on this, we decide whether a prescription is possible and its composition and dosage. A custom prescription does not eliminate side effects, and it may need to be stopped or adjusted depending on your response.

Can I receive a prescription if I have an underlying condition?

It depends on the type and status of the condition and your current treatment and medications. We first check whether a prescription is appropriate and, if needed, review test results as well. We may also decide to postpone weight-loss treatment or that herbal medicine is not suitable.

Do I keep taking the same prescription once it's decided?

We decide the next prescription after checking changes in weight and appetite, sleep, digestion, overall condition, and any uncomfortable reactions. We adjust the strength and composition according to your progress.

How are the duration and cost decided?

We plan based on your weight-loss goal and current condition, and explain the cost according to the prescription composition and duration before starting.
