FAQs
Contrave® is a prescription medication that is FDA-approved to aid in weight management and is also often used to treat depression and to help individuals stop smoking. Contrave is an oral medication that combines the active ingredients bupropion and naltrexone, which work together to influence the part of the brain that signals hunger and controls cravings. It is not a magic pill, but it can help make it easier to control portions and stick to a low-calorie diet to help you reach your weight loss goals.
