Question : Hello I have been taking contrive for 4 months but the last month it has stopped working and I am panicking I am afraid I will gain back the weight I lost which is about 20 lbs what can I do? does it work by taking the full 4 per day?

Brief Answer:
Contrave dosing

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care concerns

You have been using Contrave for weight loss and it has been working up until recently. you had a great response with loss of 20 lbs. The maximum dose of Contrave is 2 tablets twice daily. So if you have only been taking one tablet twice daily you can increase the dose to its maximum 4 tablets daily. That should get you back on track and back to losing weight.

I hope I answered your question. Please contact us again if you have any additional questions
