Helpfull Diet Pill For Weigh Loss -Acomplia


First-in-class CB1 blocker approved for the treatment of obese patients, or overweight patients with associated risk factors, such as type 2 diabetes or dyslipidaemia

ACOMPLIA works by selectively blocking CB1 receptors found in the brain and in peripheral organs important in glucose and lipid (or fat) metabolism, including dipose tissue, the liver, gastrointestinal tract and muscle. CB1 receptor blockade with ACOMPLIA acts to decrease the overactivity of the endocannabinoid system (EC system). The EC system is a recently characterised physiological system that includes receptors such as the CB1 receptor, and it is believed to play an important role in regulating body weight and in controlling energy balance, as well as glucose and lipid metabolism.

Results from the RIO programme demonstrated that one ACOMPLIA 20 mg tablet taken every day significantly decreased weight and waist circumference, HbA1c, and triglycerides and increased HDL-cholesterol levels. Importantly the label granted by the European Commission states that an estimated 50% of the observed improvements in HbA1c, HDL-cholesterol and triglycerides were beyond that expected from weight loss alone

ACOMPLIA(Rimonabant) 20 mg is targeted at improving multiple cardiometabolic risk factors in obese and overweight patients. Those likely to gain most benefit will be patients presenting with abdominal obesity (a large waist circumference) who also have diabetes and/or dyslipidemia. Almost half the adult population with a large waist circumference (defined as 102 cm/40 inches in men and 88cm/35 inches in women) present with at least 3 additional risk factors, all contributing to increased cardiometabolic risk.
