Contrave is a prescription weight loss medication that combines two active ingredients, bupropion and naltrexone. It works by targeting areas in the brain responsible for hunger and cravings, helping to control appetite and support healthy eating habits.

Contrave is typically prescribed for adults with a BMI of 30 or higher (or 27 or higher with weight-related health conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure). A consultation with our healthcare team will determine if Contrave is the right option for you.

Many patients begin to notice reduced cravings and appetite within a few weeks of starting Contrave. Weight loss progress varies depending on adherence to a healthy diet and exercise routine.

Common side effects include nausea, headache, dizziness, constipation, and insomnia. These are usually mild and tend to improve as your body adjusts. Our team will discuss potential risks during your consultation.

While Contrave helps control hunger and cravings, it is most effective when combined with a healthy diet and regular exercise. These lifestyle changes maximize weight loss and support long-term success.

Contrave targets both the hunger and reward centers of the brain, making it effective for controlling cravings and emotional eating. Its unique combination of ingredients provides a comprehensive approach to weight management.
