Mysimba

What is Mysimba?

Mysimba is an effective weight loss treatment. It should be combined with a reduced-calorie diet and exercise.

Mysimba can only be used by adults who are obese (have a body-mass index of 30 or above), or who are overweight (have a BMI of 27 or above) and have certain weight-related health complications, such as diabetes or high blood pressure.

Many factors can make losing weight difficult. Mysimba alters the way your body regulates appetite and makes exercise more effective, helping you to achieve a healthy BMI.

How does it work?

Mysimba contains two active ingredients, bupropion and naltrexone. When combined, these drugs interact with the nervous system and work to suppress appetite and increase energy expenditure. This means you feel less hungry on a low-calorie diet, and the food you do eat is burned more efficiently during exercise.

As mentioned, for Mysimba to have the desired effects, diet and exercise is necessary.

You should consult a doctor or health professional for information on how to lead a healthy lifestyle (including exercise and dietary techniques).

How do I take Mysimba?

You should always follow the advice of your doctor when taking any new medication.

It is important to follow the dosage instructions carefully for Mysimba to have the full effects:

• Week 1- one tablet should be taken daily for seven days
• Week 2 – two tablets taken daily for seven days.
• Week 3 – you should take three tablets daily for seven days – two should be taken in the morning, and one in the evening
• Week 4 – you should take four tablets daily, two in the morning, two in the evening

Mysimba can cause dizziness when patients first start treatment. It has also been known to cause seizures. For this reason, you should first consider how you react before driving or operating machinery
