Medication Created To Help You Lose Weight And Keep It Off

Studies show the combination of naltrexone and bupropion suppresses appetite and help controls cravings by affecting two areas of the brain. This makes it an effective medicine for losing weight and keeping it off. Each medication works by blocking the “reward” response and reducing desire for the specific substances.

Naltrexone is prescribed independently to prevent alcohol and drug relapse. It works by blocking the reward center associated with opioids and alcohol and has been shown to block the “association between trait-like reward-driven eating and daily food-craving.”¹

Bupropion belongs to the class of antidepressants norepinephrine-dopamine reuptake inhibitors (NDRI). Doctors may also prescribe it as a smoking cessation treatment.
