Has Contrave, a new drug approved by Health Canada, made its way into Quebec?

Diagnosing a patient with unipolar depression instead of bipolar disorder can lead to inadequate treatment and an increased risk of relapse. The second molecule in Contrave, naltrexone, works differently than bupropion, as it is an opioid antagonist. It is thought to reduce food cravings and increase satiety. I hope this information is helpful. Have a great day.
