Acomplia / Rimonabant Diet Pill Approved
Published by Diet Trials June 30th, 2006 in Losing weight, Diet Pills, Acomplia / RimonabantI posted an article back in February about a new wonder drug called Acomplia or Rimonabant and how it was near to getting approval.
It was released yesterday that Britain was the first country in the EU to be granted a license for Acomplia. Acomplia is meant to be able to reduce body weight by up to 10% and targets the parts of the body that control appetite, weight and energy use. It works by suppressing the appetite and therefore you reduce what you eat.
They are expecting that the drug will cost around £55 per month for the treatment and this could cost the NHS billions. At the moment Acomplia will only be available privately at first. Acomplia is manufactured by Sanofi Aventis and they believe that the cost of providing Acomplia to the obese population is far less than the cost the governments already have to spend on obesity.
The trials of Acomplia / Rimonabant have been very successful and a quarter of those tested lost over 10% of their body weight, and half of them lost more than 5%.
I could do with some Acomplia, not only to lose weight but it is also meant to help you give up smoking. Can you imaging the UK in 10 years time, all these non smoking, slim beings….marvellous.

Hi there,
I’ve just discovered your blog/website and sympathise with your health problems.
Re smoking did you try Allen Carr? I’d already committed myself to giving up when I found his book but it certainly reinforced my determination to give up.
Do you need another diet? I’m 3 stone overweight and am trying to approach the problem from a different side because in spite of the years I’ve spent dieting I’m still fat, fatter even. I’m changing my eating habits instead which seems harder than just dieting..
I wish you good luck with it all.
Hi Angela
Thanks for your support and advice. Did you manage to stay off the cigarrettes by using the Allen Carr book. I’ve heard that it’s good.
What are you doing when you say that you are changing your eating happens…what rukes have you set yourself…i’m interested in your approach.
I have been on Acomplia 2 months and have not lost a lb, despite diet and walking. i am on thyroid meds but that should have nothing to do with weight loss as long as blood level is normal.
