Contrave

 Contrave is a prescription medication used for weight management in adults who are overweight or have obesity. It's a combination of two drugs: bupropion, which is an antidepressant and smoking cessation aid, and naltrexone, which is used primarily to manage alcohol or opioid dependence.

The exact mechanism of how Contrave helps with weight loss is not fully understood, but it's believed to work in areas of the brain that control appetite and reward pathways. It can help reduce food cravings and overeating, leading to weight loss over time when used as part of a comprehensive weight management program that includes a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity.

As with any medication, Contrave may cause side effects, and it's not suitable for everyone. Common side effects may include nausea, constipation, headache, vomiting, dizziness, insomnia, and dry mouth. Additionally, it's essential to discuss with a healthcare provider whether Contrave is appropriate for you, considering your medical history and any other medications you may be taking.
