Mysimba Tablets

What is Mysimba?

Mysimba is a prescription-only weight loss medication that comes as film-coated tablets. Each tablet contains 2 active ingredients, which are naltrexone hydrochloride and bupropion hydrochloride. Both ingredients act in the areas of the brain that are in control of controlling appetite and cravings, which in turn helps with reducing overeating and long-term weight management.

Who is Mysimba suitable for?

Mysimba is designed for people who have strong cravings for food and emotional eaters, rather than just people who eat large portions. If you are the type that always finds yourself eating a snack when you have already eaten and don’t need to, or you find yourself reaching for food when you’re stressed, bored, or tired, then Mysimba is the right option for you. Emotional eating has been recognised as a medical cause for gaining weight. Mysimba helps by working on the brain signals that control hunger and cravings so that you can feel more in control around food. In order to take Mysimba, you will have to fulfil a few medical conditions, such as

• A body mass index of 30 or higher (which typically makes you clinically obese),
• A BMI of 27 or greater, in addition to a weight-related condition 

Mysimba might also be an appropriate option if you’re open to medical support in losing weight but aren’t ready for weekly injections like Wegovy or Mounjaro. As it is a tablet, it is often considered a more direct and simple option. If you are uncertain about your BMI, you can use a special online calculator like this one designed by the NHS.

How does Mysimba work? 

Mysimba targets the brain’s “reward” and “hunger” centres basically. Each tablet contains two active ingredients: bupropion and naltrexone. They work together to reduce hunger anytime the brain signals that you need food and also reduce cravings, the brain signals that you must have a specific food, even when you are not hungry. 

This enables you to eat less, reduce snacking, and be consistent and strict with your diet and change to a healthier way of life. Both drugs have been safely used for decades in other treatments, including aiding people to quit smoking, so their effect on cravings is well established.

How long does Mysimba take to work?

Mysimba isn’t an overnight fix. You typically see weight loss after taking the medication for 4 and a half months if you are following a diet and nutritional plan and maintaining exercise. The first box, which has 112 tablets, lasts for about 38 days, because your daily dose gradually increases during the first 3 weeks. Then, after that, each box of Mysimba will last 4 weeks.

How effective is Mysimba?

Studies have shown that people taking Mysimba lost 2 to 4 times more weight when compared with people who just diet and exercise. That’s a huge difference when you think about how difficult it can be to see results by yourself.

In trials with over 2000 people, the most noticeable results happened around the 16-week mark, which is about 4 months into Mysimba medication.

Who should NOT use Mysimba?

·         Have uncontrolled high blood pressure

·         Have or have had seizures

·         You take other medications that contain bupropion

·         History of eating disorders (such as anorexia or bulimia)

·         Use opioids or are withdrawing from opioids

·         Drink heavily or are dependent on alcohol, sedative medicines, and benzodiazepines

·         Are allergic to bupropion, naltrexone, or any of the ingredients listed in the PIL

Can I get Mysimba from my GP?

It’s unlikely. The reason why the NHS stopped prescribing Mysimba in 2017 is because of the cost compared to other weight loss treatments. Here at Cured Pharmacy, we make it possible to access Mysimba safely.
