What is Contrave?
Contrave combines naltrexone and bupropion in an extended-release prescription tablet for long-term weight management in eligible adults, alongside dietary changes and physical activity. It is not a controlled substance. A provider must assess whether it fits your medical history and treatment goals.
Benefits must be weighed against risks
Contrave can cause side effects, including nausea, constipation, headache, and trouble sleeping. It also has important contraindications and a boxed warning concerning suicidal thoughts and behaviors. It must not be used with certain conditions or medications, including uncontrolled hypertension, seizure disorders, chronic opioid use, or other bupropion-containing products. This is not a complete safety list; review the current prescribing information and Medication Guide with your prescriber.
Your provider should monitor response, tolerability, blood pressure, and medication interactions and decide whether treatment should continue. Do not start, combine, or change prescription medication based on an online article.
