Get bupropion-naltrexone (Contrave) online prescriptions for weight loss

Bupropion and naltrexone is a prescription medication primarily used for weight management in adults who are struggling with obesity or those who are overweight and have weight-related health conditions.

This medication is a combination of two active ingredients: bupropion and naltrexone. Bupropion is an antidepressant that can also help with weight loss, while naltrexone is an opioid receptor antagonist that can reduce appetite and food cravings.

Available under the brand name Contrave, bupropion and naltrexone can only be obtained through a prescription from a licensed healthcare provider.

Bupropion and naltrexone is primarily prescribed to help individuals manage their weight. It is intended for adults with obesity---having a body mass index BMI of 30 or higher---or for overweight individuals (BMI of 27 or higher) who are also managing a weight-related health condition, such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol.

This medication is most effective when used as part of a comprehensive weight loss plan that includes a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity.

Bupropion and naltrexone is a combination medication that addresses weight loss in several ways.

The combination of bupropion and naltrexone work together in the brain. Their synergistic effect helps reduce appetite and increase the feeling of fullness after meals. This makes it easier to control calorie intake.

In addition, these two drugs work together to reduce the rewarding effects of foods and cravings, particularly for high-calorie and high-sugar foods.

By targeting both appetite control and cravings, bupropion and naltrexone can help patients achieve sustainable weight loss when used as part of a comprehensive weight management program that includes a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity.
