Mysimba acts on the central nervous system, targeting both appetite control and food cravings.

• Bupropion helps regulate appetite and energy balance
• Naltrexone supports control over reward-related eating behavior
• The combination helps reduce hunger and emotional or compulsive eating

By influencing these brain pathways, Mysimba supports gradual and sustainable weight loss when used consistently.
