It appears that this is one of the biggest side effects. There are plenty of choices for dealing with this. Many take the fiber gummies daily. A lot will take a fiber supplement. I only am constipated occasionally so I take a few sips of magnesium citrate. For me it is effective and cheap. I hope this helps.
I have been taking contrave since June. As of today i have lost 50 lbs. yea!!! but recently i have been dealing with constipation. My Doctor told me to take Magnesium Citrate. It worked. I am to use Correctol daily now until i am off the Contrave. i hope that works..
Wwendyht; YES this is one of the biggest complaints you should join in the Contrave group we have and hear what others are saying. Also grapes with meals seems to help many or ask your doctor what laxative and stool softener you can take along with this medication.
