Brief Answer:
Contrave is a newly approved drug by the FDA

Detailed Answer:
Contrave is approved for anyone with a BMI greater than 27 with risk factors or greater than 30 if healthy but just obese. You asked me where you can get it so I tracked you and found you in the US. In the US this drug (approved only about 6 months ago) must be obtained from a physician. Now, remember that this drug is indicated to be used along with a low calorie meal plan high in fiber, fluids and with an exercise program. A good weight loss is about 1-2 pounds per week. At that rate the weight loss has the chance of being a permanent loss and not just temporary from a "diet" or off and on exercise attempts. I have developed a "board" that might help you at https://www.pinterest.com/kathyshattler/ called weight loss/motivation. It is both educational and motivational. Check it out, okay? It doesn't cost anything. I hope I have addressed your question. Be Strong!
