I wonder what Contrave will cost? $3+ per pill I suspect.
Has anybody seen side by side comparisons between Contrave and Metformin or Glipizide?
Naltrexone and bupropion are generics. Any premium is for the sustained release formulation for once daily dosing.

No, it's too new.
I am in the last thirty days of a drug trial for the drug Code names ASP 1941. At this point I don’t know if I am taking one of the four provided dosages or metformin or a placebo.
In about 12 weeks or so, my A1c is down slightly from 7.1 to 6.8 and morning fasting glucose is stabilizing around 135 or so. I have lost around 6% of my body weight and according to my WII, have effectively lowered my BMI from obese to over weight.
I suffered no adverse side effects normal to ASP 1941 or Metformin. My only known effect is days when I am totally wiped out. I attributed this to lower than normal glusose level but leaned that it may result from low blood pressure. The reason for lowered blood pressure was not yet determined.
Any way, it is interesting to see all this up close. My file is now at least 200 pages in a looseleaf binder.
The next 30 days will be a continuation of the monitoring but no medication.
