Hello,
Thanks for trusting Healthcaremagic!
I have gone through your query and I can understand your concerns.
Contrave is a brand name of a drug contain bupropion and naltrexone. Its quite effective in reducing the body weight.
Contrave is a controlled substance because naltrexone part is an opiod drug and it can be misused. But it is available with a prescription.
