Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am struggling with being overweight, and a friend of mine recommended Contrave to me. Can you tell me about the advantages and disadvantages of the drug? My friend's outcomes were positive, but I would like to know more before considering it.

Kindly help.

Answered by Dr. Sugreev Singh

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and can understand your concern.

All weight-reduction pills are harmful for our health since they create a lot of side effects, including dizziness and other things, and they can also cause significant muscle weakness. Therefore, kindly refrain from taking any medications; even anti-obesity pills will cause such symptoms, so make yourself aware of all of this. All weight loss treatments have significant health side effects.

Even the tablet. Contrave (Naltrexone and Bupropion) will have the same symptoms, so I would advise you not to use Contrave or other over-the-counter medications since they can also produce side effects. If you want to use Contrave, I suggest that you do a complete, full-body check-up before considering using Contrave. So, first and foremost, you should try changing your lifestyle. Try considering natural weight-loss methods such as dieting and going to the gym. Please let me know if you need anything else.

I hope this information will help you.

Thank you.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
