Hello,
Thank you of trusting us with your health question

Contrave works with maximum efficacy at 4 pills per day regime. 2 pills in the morning and 2 pills at night. The dose should be gradually increased over the weeks. Lesser dosage is recommended only for people with renal or hepatic impairment. or people on other medications.
So make sure you follow the dosing regime as prescribed.
