Alcoholism is a concern which afflicts over 14 million Americans, almost 8% in the population from the United States. The majority of alcohol rehabilitation programs in use today have a low effectiveness, therefore many people have looked to medications in order to limit or stop their drinking problem. Two types of medications are still used in the treatment of alcoholics, Aversive Medications and Anticraving Medications. Using two separate drugs to lose weight can be very effective there are combinations in front of the FDA now awaiting approval. When dealing with weight-loss and the individuals who go through it one should err along the side of caution and let the FDA do its job and demand some investigation be done so that the public knows the side effects and hazards of the medications before we take them. Keep in mind that drug companies come in business to make money and that they would say almost anything to keep people on the medications. Researchers discovered that participants investing in this drug for any year, lost weight within 4 weeks and have kept the body weight off through the 56 weeks from the study. Contrave is really a combination in the drugs naltrexone and bupropion, which seems to reflect a whole new trend of weight-loss drugs that are made up of more than one active ingredient, that might make them more effective and safer. Combo-pilling could be the newest fad or in addition to this the newest in the future under scrutiny and thus it is just more publicly known lately, comb-pilling for weight loss has been around since the eighties. The biggest reason that by using a combination of pills is starting to become popular may be the fact that by right now there are not any long term prescription diet pills that have been approved by the FDA other than orlistat. The truly disturbing part is doctors are prescribing these combinations of medications and some of the combinations are already rejected or have yet to be authorized by the FDA. Seizures really are a side effect with Contrave and really should not be taken in individuals with seizure disorders. The drug also can raise blood pressure and heartbeat, and must not be used in people with a history of heart attack or stroke in the previous six months. Blood pressure and pulse should also be measured before starting the drug and throughout therapy using the drug. The FDA also warned that Contrave can raise blood pressure levels and heart rate and must stop used in patients with uncontrolled high blood pressure levels, as well as by anyone with heart-related and cerebrovascular (circulation dysfunction impacting the mind) disease. Patients which has a history of heart attack or stroke in the last six months, life-threatening arrhythmias, or congestive heart failure were excluded in the clinical trials. Those taking Contrave really should have their heart-rate and pulse monitored regularly. In addition, considering that the compound includes bupropion, Contrave comes with a boxed warning to alert medical professionals and patients towards the increased risk of suicidal thoughts and behaviors linked to antidepressant drugs. The warning also notes that serious neuropsychiatric events have been reported in patients taking bupropion for smoking cessation. "There were no indications of depression or suicidal thoughts in trial participants," said Fujioka.
