Contrave Doctor NYC: A Non-GLP-1 Medication Guide

W8MD Brooklyn • Medically reviewed educational guide

Contrave is a prescription combination of naltrexone and bupropion used for chronic weight management in eligible patients. It is not a GLP-1 medication, and suitability depends on medical history, current medicines and contraindications.

Call 718-946-5500
Request information

W8MD Weight Loss, Sleep & MedSpa • Brooklyn, NYC

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.

Losing Weight in New York City: A Realistic Plan

W8MD Brooklyn • Medically reviewed educational guide

NYC offers both opportunities and barriers for weight loss: walkable neighborhoods and diverse foods, but also long workdays, delivery apps, restaurant portions and disrupted sleep. A realistic plan uses the city rather than fighting it.

Call 718-946-5500
Request information

W8MD Weight Loss, Sleep & MedSpa • Brooklyn, NYC

Design for the week you actually have

Choose a small number of reliable breakfasts, lunches and emergency meals. Decide in advance how many restaurant or delivery meals fit the plan and what a default order looks like.

Carry a planned snack if long commutes trigger overeating
Walk one subway stop when safe and practical
Use grocery delivery for staple foods
Plan protein before social meals
Set a consistent sleep window

Know when self-help is not enough

Repeated regain, strong hunger, binge-eating symptoms, diabetes, sleep apnea, medication-related gain or substantial obesity can justify professional evaluation.

Use treatment as a bridge to maintenance

Whether treatment involves coaching, medication or both, practice habits that can continue. Medication decisions should be reviewed rather than stopped or escalated without guidance.

Health Benefits of Sustainable Weight Loss in NYC

W8MD Brooklyn • Medically reviewed educational guide

Sustainable weight loss can improve selected metabolic, mechanical and quality-of-life outcomes. Benefits vary, and health improvements—not a cosmetic ideal—should guide treatment goals.

Call 718-946-5500
Request information

W8MD Weight Loss, Sleep & MedSpa • Brooklyn, NYC

Potential health improvements

Depending on the person and amount maintained, weight reduction may improve blood pressure, glucose, triglycerides, fatty liver, mobility, reflux, fertility, sleep apnea severity and quality of life.

Better mobility and less joint load
Improved insulin sensitivity
Reduced sleep-apnea burden for some patients
Greater stamina
Lower need for selected medications under clinician guidance

Small changes can matter

A clinically meaningful goal does not require reaching an idealized chart weight. Goals should be individualized around risk, function, symptoms and what can be maintained.

Protect muscle and nutrition

Rapid or poorly planned loss can reduce lean mass and nutrient intake. Protein, resistance activity and medical monitoring can be important, particularly for older adults and people using appetite-suppressing medication.

Weight-Loss Lessons from an NYC Weight-Loss Doctor

W8MD Brooklyn • Medically reviewed educational guide

There is no secret ingredient that replaces consistency. The most useful clinical lessons are less dramatic: manage hunger, protect sleep, simplify food decisions, build activity gradually and prepare for maintenance before reaching goal weight.

Call 718-946-5500
Request information

W8MD Weight Loss, Sleep & MedSpa • Brooklyn, NYC

Hunger is information

Persistent hunger is not simply lack of willpower. Meal composition, sleep loss, stress, medications and metabolic factors can change appetite. A plan should reduce unnecessary hunger rather than demand constant resistance.

Prioritize protein and fiber
Avoid drinking many calories
Create a dependable meal rhythm
Use the home food environment
Review medications that may affect weight

The scale is only one measure

Waist circumference, blood pressure, glucose, fitness, sleep, symptoms and medication needs may also change. Short-term scale fluctuations can reflect water, sodium, digestion and other factors.

Maintenance is active treatment

Weight regain is common when support, structure or medication ends abruptly. A maintenance plan may include continued follow-up, nutrition routines, resistance exercise, sleep care and medication decisions made with a clinician.
