Are Mysimba weight loss pills suitable for me?
Mysimba is especially well-suited for people who feel hungry even though they’ve eaten or who have cravings for eating particular foods or eating at particular times, usually in the evening.
This includes people who have lost weight or have tried to lose weight before with a calorie-controlled diet and more exercise.
This type of eating is called Emotional Eating, and it is a real and medically recognised cause of weight gain.
People who eat this way are often busy or stressed and have little time for themselves. They may not have proper mealtime routines and end up eating on the go or while distracted doing something else, like working or looking after children.
They may think of themselves as “snackers” or “grazers” and struggle to be consistent with a diet or exercise routine because life gets in the way.
To be able to use Mysimba safely, you must have a starting body mass index (BMI) of 30 or 27 with certain other health conditions.
Mysimba could also be a good option for people who want to use Wegovy or Mounjaro but don’t like the idea of using an injection.
Using the BMI weight loss calculator
A body mass index, or BMI, is a calculation that shows how heavy a person is compared to how tall they are.
The best way to find your BMI is to use a special online calculator like this one designed by the NHS.
You may be able to use Mysimba if your BMI number is above 30 or if it is above 27 and you have other health conditions like
- High blood pressure
- Heart disease
- Obstructive sleep apnoea
- High cholesterol
- Osteoarthritis
- Depression
- Polycystic ovary syndrome
How does Mysimba work?
Mysimba contains two different medicines in one tablet. These medicines are called Bupropion and Naltrexone, and they do slightly different things to help you lose weight.
Bupropion and Naltrexone work together as a team to reduce hunger and control food cravings.
Hunger is when our brain tells us that we need food for energy and that any food will do.
A craving is when our brain tells us that we want a specific food or type of food, even if we’re not hungry.
Controlling hunger and cravings means eating smaller portion sizes at mealtimes and not wanting to snack on food that may have previously caused you to gain weight.
Both Buproprion and Naltrexone have been used for more than 30 years to treat other conditions, including helping people to stop smoking and other addictions by controlling those cravings.
Mysimba is not a laxative or a stimulant.
How long does Mysimba take to work?
A successful weight loss journey takes time, especially if you want to keep the weight off after you stop treatment.
In clinical studies, the most significant weight loss was seen after 4 months (16 weeks) of taking Mysimba as prescribed.
How long does Mysimba last?
Your first box of 112 Mysimba tablets will last just over 5 weeks (38 days). This is because the number of tablets you take every day is gradually increased for the first 3 weeks.
After the first 38 days, a box of tablets will last 4 weeks (28 days).
How effective is Mysimba?
Three different clinical studies of over 2000 people showed how those taking Mysimba, along with diet and exercise, lost 2-4 times more weight over 1 year than with diet and exercise alone and kept it off.
Who should not use Mysimba?
Mysimba is not for everyone. Do NOT take Mysimba if you:
- have uncontrolled high blood pressure
- have or have had seizures
- use other medicines that contain bupropion, such as Zyban
- have or have had an eating disorder called anorexia (eating very little) or bulimia (eating and then being sick to avoid gaining weight)
- are dependent on opioid pain medicines, such as Codeine, Morphine or Fentanyl
- use medicines to help stop taking opioids, or are in opiate withdrawal
- drink a lot of alcohol or use medicines called sedatives (these make you sleepy), benzodiazepines, or anti-seizure medicines
- are taking medicines called monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs). Ask us if you are not sure if you take an MAOI. Do NOT start Mysimba until you have stopped taking your MAOI for at least 14 days
- are allergic to Buproprion, Naltrexone or any of the ingredients in Mysimba. See the patient information leaflet for a complete list of ingredients
Can I get Mysimba
It’s very unlikely. Mysimba has not been used by the NHS since 2017. This is not because it doesn’t work or because it isn’t safe.
It’s because it is expensive, more so than other medicines that can help with weight loss, like Orlistat, Wegovy or Mounjaro.
