Contrave, weight loss
Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome
I appreciate your concern
Contrave is used as an adjunct treatment to facilitate weight loss in individuals with BMI greater than 30 or 27 if there is a weight related comorbidity such as hypertension.
If no significant response occurred with 4 months of treatment e.g if the weight loss is less than 5 % then the medication should be discontinued.
Kindly answer the following to advise accordingly.
What was your BMI prior to initiating the treatment
How many lbs did you loose over the period of these 3 months.
What dose of contrave are you taking, now.
Are you taking any other weight loss product or herbal preparation in addition to contrave.
Wishing you best of health
Thanks
