Contrave weight-loss medication information

At a glance

Contrave combines naltrexone and bupropion extended release and may help selected adults with appetite and eating-control challenges.

Medical fit

W8MD reviews diagnoses, current medicines, prior treatment, vital signs, goals and product-specific contraindications before recommending treatment.

Coverage and cost

Insurance benefits, authorization rules, cash prices and availability vary. The least expensive option is not useful if it is unsafe or unsustainable.

Monitoring

Follow-up assesses response, side effects, nutrition, blood pressure when relevant, dose decisions, plateaus and long-term maintenance.

Important safety considerations

A complete opioid history is essential. Contraindications and cautions include seizure risk, uncontrolled hypertension, eating disorders and other bupropion products.

Tell the clinician about pregnancy or pregnancy planning, allergies, all prescriptions and supplements, prior adverse reactions and relevant family history. Do not combine, restart, stop or change doses without appropriate guidance.
