Combining naltrexone SR (32 mg/day) and bupropion SR (360 mg/day) with intensive behavior modification produces significantly greater weight loss (9.3%) and cardiometabolic improvements compared to behavior modification alone (5.1%) in obese adults over 56 weeks.
If you have obesity, adding this specific combination of naltrexone and bupropion to a structured diet and exercise program can nearly double your average weight loss compared to diet and exercise alone. The medication is taken twice daily and requires a slow start to minimize nausea. It is most effective for those without diabetes or heart conditions.
At week 56, weight loss was 5.1 ± 0.6% with placebo + BMOD vs. 9.3 ± 0.4% with NB32 + BMOD (P < 0.001).
Why this rating
Large-scale (N=793), randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial (Phase 3).
