Acomplia to be called Zimulti

Published by Diet Trials October 11th, 2006 in Diet Pills, Acomplia / Rimonabant

Why do they have to do this….do they like to confuse us so that we are never sure what we are taking, or is it like giving plants and flowers in your garden really long latin names that no one can remember.

We have all got used to the word Acomplia, meaning weight loss drug that surpresses appetite. The magic ingredient of Acomplia is called Rimonabant which you may have heard of before.

You may also heard of Sanofi-Aventis who manufacture Acomplia / Rimonabant. This pharmaceutical company also manufacture along with many others wonder drugs, Ambien / Zolpidem which is a sleeping tablet.

When Acomplia finally gets released into the USA there are plans to rename Acomplia to Zimulti… why? What sort of name is Zimulti anyway? I really would like to meet the guy who has the job to make up names like Zimulti; not that Acomplia is any better a name!

Why do pharmaceutical companies do this? Is there a valid logical reason why a drug gets a different name in different countries? I know that we call them “chips” and in the USA they call them “fries” but it doesn’t mean we have to have 2 names for everything does it?
