Non-GLP-1 prescription care · California
Contrave Weight Loss
When cravings feel bigger than willpower, the right clinical conversation can open another path.
Care starts with the whole picture.
A prescription option is considered in the context of your complete health picture.
Contrave combines two established medications and may be considered for select patients whose weight-management needs include appetite and craving support.
Your MEDY provider reviews your health history, current prescriptions, eating patterns, goals, and potential contraindications. If Contrave fits the clinical picture, treatment is paired with follow-up and practical lifestyle support.
MEDY’s clinical care is led by Christel Backert, NP-C. Recommendations are based on the individual evaluation, and treatment education includes reasonable expectations, alternatives, and the follow-up needed for the option being considered.
Contrave evaluation is available through Lathrop, Modesto, and eligible California telehealth care.

Follow-up to assess tolerance and progress
Use follow-up to review your experience and decide whether the plan should continue, change, or conclude.
Medication history matters before treatment begins.
Contrave combines two active ingredients, so a complete medication and health review is essential.
Your provider considers current prescriptions, possible interactions, blood pressure, seizure history, opioid use, eating-disorder history, mental-health considerations, and other medication-specific factors before discussing treatment. If it is prescribed, follow-up provides space to assess tolerance, response, and whether the plan should continue or change.
Do not start, stop, share, or change a prescription or injection plan based on website information. Follow the directions provided by the treating clinician and contact the MEDY team with treatment or side-effect questions.
