CONTRAVE® is a prescription medicine which may help some adults with a body mass index (BMI) of 30 kg/m2 or greater (obese), or adults with a BMI of 27 kg/m2 or greater (overweight) with at least one weight-related medical problem such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or type 2 diabetes, lose weight and keep the weight off.
For those considering use of CONTRAVE®, it is important to understand that:
The use of CONTRAVE® in combination with diet and exercise has helped patients in clinical studies to lose weight. In one clinical study, participants took CONTRAVE® in conjunction with reducing their calorie intake, increasing their physical activity and participating in lifestyle counseling. On average, people lost 5.4% of their excess body weight and 42% of the participants lost 5% or more of their excess body weight.
In a second study with similar criteria, the average weight loss was 8.1% and 57% of the participants lost 5% or more of their excess body weight. *Results may vary
The all-important first step in your weight loss journey is to schedule a consultation with Dr. Moore or Dr. Thomas to assess if you are an ideal candidate for CONTRAVE®.
