Generic Acomplia (Rimonabant)
Acomplia (Rimonabant) is a new miraculous multifunctional diet pill.
According to a report published by the Journal of the American Medical Association,
Accomplia
- produces sustained weight loss
- helps to quit smoking
- improves blood makers
- improves high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and triglyceride levels
What is Acomplia?
- Acomplia (Rimonabant) is the first in a new class of therapeutic agents called Cannabinoid-1 Receptor Blockers (CB1).
- Acomplia is used in the treatment of obesity and related conditions.
How does Acomplia work?
- Acomplia acts by selectively blocking CB1 receptors found in the
brain and in peripheral organs important in glucose and lipid (or fat)
metabolism, including adipose tissue, the liver, gastrointestinal tract
and muscle1.
- Acomplia switches off the same brain circuits that make people hungry when they smoke cannabis.
- CB1 receptor blockade with Acomplia acts to decrease the
overactivity of the endocannabinoid system (EC system)2,3. The EC
system is a recently characterised physiological system that includes
receptors such as the CB1 receptor and it has been shown to play an
important role in regulating body weight and in controlling energy
balance, as well as glucose and lipid (or fat) metabolism.
What is Acomplia used for?
- Acomplia is used complementary to diet and exercise to treat obese
or overweight patients who suffer from Type 2 diabetes and abnormal
levels of fat in the blood.
- Sanofi argues that Acomplia can also prevent the risk of cardiovascular disease.
- Patients with large waist circumference (102 cm in men and 88 cm in women) will mostly benefit from taking the drug.
Does Acomplia also aid smoking cessation?
- Acomplia has been studied by sanofi-aventis as an aid to smoking
cessation based on studies for up to one year in over 6,500 smokers
motivated to quit smoking.
- Sanofi-aventis submitted a New Drug Application to the FDA, which
in turn issued a non approvable letter for Acomplia for use in smoking
cessation. An approvable letter was however issued for Acomplia for use
in weight management.
Acomplia has just been approved in the European Union. Is Acomplia approved in the United States?
- No. Sanofi is still awaiting U.S. marketing go-ahead which it has said could come by the end of this year.
- U.S. health authorities have asked Sanofi for more information on Acomplia.
- Acomplia received European Union marketing approval in June 2006.
- The first launch will take place in Britain in July and be followed
by launches in Denmark, Ireland, Germany, Finland and Norway in the
second half of this year, according to Sanofi.
What were the results of Acomplia Clinical trial studies?
- In clinical studies, Acomplia has been shown to improve a wide
array of cardiometabolic risk factors as well as promoting sustained
weight loss4,5.
- Approximately half of the observed improvement in HDL-cholesterol,
triglycerides and HbA1C (an indicator of blood sugar control) in
patients who received Acomplia 20mg was beyond that expected from
weight loss alone.
What are the side-effects of Acomplia?
- Side effects in the trial on Acomplia in obesity were vomiting and
nausea, forcing about 19 percent of patients to leave the trial versus
13 percent of those who took placebo.
What is the shelf life of the pills?
- The expiry date is mentioned on each blister. It is different
for different batches. The shelf life is 2 years from the date of
manufacture and would differ from batch to batch depending on when they
were manufactured.
