Prescription Weight Loss Medication
A Non-GLP-1 Weight Loss Option for Eligible Adults
Contrave® is an FDA-approved prescription medication containing naltrexone and bupropion in an extended-release tablet. It is prescribed with a reduced-calorie eating plan and increased physical activity for chronic weight management in appropriate adults.
Unlike injectable medications, Contrave® is taken by mouth. It may be considered by patients searching for an oral weight loss medication, a non-GLP-1 option, appetite support or help managing persistent food cravings.
At Palm Beach Weight Loss , each treatment begins with a medical evaluation. Your provider reviews your health history, current medications, goals and potential safety concerns before determining whether Contrave® or another treatment option may be appropriate.
- Provider-supervised prescription weight loss care
- Oral alternative to injectable weight loss medication
- Personalized evaluation based on your health history
- Ongoing monitoring and weight management support
Understanding the Medication
How Does Contrave® Work?
Contrave® is believed to affect areas of the brain involved in hunger and reward-driven eating. Its exact neurochemical effects leading to weight loss are not fully understood.
Craving Management
The medication is designed to address pathways associated with appetite and cravings, although individual responses vary.
Personalized Planning
Medication works best when paired with individualized nutrition, activity, behavioral and follow-up recommendations.
Important: Contrave® is a prescription medication and is not
suitable for everyone. A qualified healthcare provider must evaluate your
medical history, current medications and potential contraindications.
Candidate Evaluation
Who May Be a Candidate for Contrave®?
Contrave® may be considered for certain adults with obesity or adults who are overweight and have at least one weight-related medical condition. Eligibility is determined during a medical consultation, not from body weight alone.
Your provider will review factors such as your body mass index, medical conditions, blood pressure, current prescriptions, previous weight loss treatments, pregnancy status and overall health.
- Adults seeking an oral prescription weight loss option
- Patients who prefer to discuss non-injectable treatment
- People struggling with persistent hunger or food cravings
- Patients who can participate in ongoing follow-up care
- Adults medically eligible after a provider evaluation
Prescription Weight Loss Choices
Contrave® Compared With GLP-1 Weight Loss Treatments
Contrave® and GLP-1 medications are different types of prescription weight loss treatment. Contrave® is an oral combination of naltrexone and bupropion. Many GLP-1 and GLP-1/GIP treatments are administered as injections and act through different biological pathways.
One option is not automatically right for every patient. Your medical history, medication preferences, treatment goals, previous results and safety considerations all help determine which approach should be discussed.
| Treatment Feature | Contrave® | GLP-1 Options |
|---|---|---|
| Form | Oral extended-release tablet | Commonly injectable; some oral options exist |
| Medication Type | Naltrexone and bupropion | GLP-1 or GLP-1/GIP receptor medication |
| Treatment Focus | Hunger and craving-related pathways | Appetite, satiety and metabolic pathways |
| Prescription Required | Yes | Yes |
| Provider Evaluation | Required | Required |
This comparison is general and does not replace individualized medical advice. Available treatment options depend on medical eligibility and provider judgment.
