Question 5

How well does Mysimba work for managing weight?

Accepted Answer

Mysimba has shown effectiveness in reducing body weight in clinical trials. These studies involved around 4500 obese or overweight patients who received either Mysimba or a placebo alongside counseling and advice on diet and exercise.

In three of the studies, patients on Mysimba lost around 3.7 to 5.7% of their body weight, compared to 1.3 to 1.9% with placebo.

Additionally, a higher proportion of Mysimba-treated patients achieved significant weight loss, with 28 to 42% achieving a 5% weight loss compared to 12 to 14% with placebo.

Furthermore, 13 to 22% of those taking Mysimba achieved at least a 10% reduction in weight, while only 5 to 6% of placebo-treated patients did so.

In another research with more intensive counseling, the weight loss was greater overall: 8.1% with Mysimba compared to 4.9% with placebo.

Here, 46% and 30% of Mysimba-treated patients achieved 5% and 10% weight reductions respectively, compared to 34% and 17% respectively with placebo.

Overall, the effectiveness of Mysimba over placebo was consistent across different methods of analysis, with greater benefits observed in patients who completed 56 weeks of treatment or who had already lost at least 5% of their original body weight by 4 months into the study. Sources

Question 6

How long does Mysimba last?

Accepted Answer

Mysimba comes in prolonged-release tablets containing 7.2 mg naltrexone and 78 mg bupropion, available only with a prescription. The "prolonged-release" feature means the medication releases slowly over several hours.

When you first start Mysimba, a single pack of 112 tablets lasts 5 weeks. Your medicine should be taken as suggested by your prescriber.

When you take Mysimba, you will gradually increase your dose over a four-week period until you reach what is called the maintenance dose. This is the dose at which you will continue to take Mysimba.

Question 7

When can I expect Mysimba to start showing results?

Accepted Answer

Mysimba typically starts showing changes around week eight, based on guidance from the drug company. Studies involving over 4,500 overweight or obese patients indicate that when paired with a reduced-calorie diet and exercise.

Mysimba tablets can significantly impact weight by week 16. If you haven't lost at least 5% of your body weight by then, your prescriber might stop your prescription.
