Acomplia Rimonabant Review

Review of Rimonbant Acomplia Diet DrugAcomplia is the brand name of the prescription only diet drug – Rimonabant.

Rimonabant is an extremely strong and powerful pharmaceutical grade  appetite suppressant that is not without its fair share of potential side effects – so much so that in October 2008 it was removed from shelves amid fears that it could have be responsible for some potentially fatal health conditions.

Acomplia Is No Longer Available

Acomplia was only available via doctor consultation and subsequent prescription – it cannot be purchased legally over the counter or via the internet. Upon its introduction to the market it was viewed by many health care professionals as the anti obesity drug of the future.

Since 2006 it is estimated that over one hundred thousand (100,00) patients have been prescribed the drug – there is little doubt that it is effective for suppressing appetite but the  potential danger and negative side effects heavily outweigh the positives – hence the removal from the market.

What Is Rimonabant Acomplia

As mentioned, a powerful appetite suppressant drug that can influence the brain and its ability to cease craving  sustenance (food)

The aim of Acomplia is to reduce the want for food and in particular suppress the appetite. The appetite suppressing nature of Acomplia works by effecting the brains cannabinoid receptors – these receptors are thought to control dependency (addiction) and in turn reduce the want for food.

It was not just aimed at obese patients but anyone who had issues with curbing addiction such as alcohol, tobacco and other dependency forming drugs.
