Buy Contrave Online in Australia

What is Contrave?

Contrave is a prescription medicine that combines two active ingredients, naltrexone and bupropion, intended to support weight management in adults who are overweight or have obesity with related health problems. In Australia, the product is commonly marketed as Mysimba, though some online pharmacies may list Contrave to match international naming. It is not available over the counter; a clinician must decide if it is appropriate after reviewing your medical history, current medicines, and weight goals. Treatment is always part of a broader plan that includes diet, physical activity, and behavioural support.

How Contrave works

The two medicines work in different ways to help with weight. Naltrexone acts on the brain’s reward and appetite circuits, potentially reducing cravings for sweet and rewarding foods. Bupropion is an antidepressant that can influence mood and impulse control, which may support eating changes. Together they aim to decrease hunger and improve adherence to a healthier eating plan. The exact response varies, and some people will not experience significant weight loss despite using the medicine. Regular follow‑ups help tailor treatment to you and monitor safety.

Using Contrave in Australia

In Australia, a doctor must determine whether Contrave (or Mysimba) is suitable, considering medical history, current medicines, and other weight‑loss strategies. The dose is started slowly and increased gradually to reduce the risk of side effects. It is not recommended for people with uncontrolled high blood pressure, a history of seizures, eating disorders, severe liver impairment, or during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Alcohol can interact with the medicine and increase side effects, so moderation or avoidance is advised. Inform your prescriber about all medicines you take, including other weight‑loss products, antidepressants, or drugs that affect the brain or heart to avoid interactions.

Side effects and safety

Common side effects include nausea, constipation, headache, dizziness, dry mouth, and trouble sleeping. Some people experience sweating, or feeling jittery when starting treatment. In rare cases, mood changes, agitation, or suicidal thoughts can occur, especially early in therapy or when the dose changes. Your clinician will monitor blood pressure, heart rate, mood, and liver function as needed. Seek urgent medical help if you have severe headaches with high blood pressure, fainting, seizures, severe allergic reactions, or signs of liver problems.

Buying from an online pharmacy in Australia

When ordering online, choose a pharmacy licensed to dispense medicines in Australia and ensure a valid prescription is supplied or verified. A pharmacist from the online site should be available to answer questions about dosing, safety, and potential interactions. Check whether the product is the Australian brand or an approved equivalent and review shipping terms, privacy, and refund policies. Prices vary, and most weight‑loss medicines are paid privately rather than subsidised by the PBS; discuss costs with the pharmacist. If you are unsure about suitability or safety, discuss your plan with a local pharmacist or clinician before ordering.
