How Contrave fits into treatment

Contrave may help some patients with appetite or cravings when combined with nutrition and physical activity. It is taken according to a dose-escalation schedule in the prescribing information and requires follow-up.

Review blood pressure
Review seizure history
Review opioid use or need for opioid pain treatment
Review eating-disorder and alcohol history
Check interactions with other medicines

Why an evaluation is required

Contrave is not appropriate for everyone and carries important warnings. Patients should read the current medication guide and promptly report concerning symptoms. Do not share prescription medication.

Comparing non-GLP-1 options

Depending on the patient, a clinician may discuss orlistat, phentermine/topiramate, short-term phentermine or other approaches. Each has distinct benefits, risks and monitoring needs.
