Acomplia (Rimonabant) Side Effects & Information

Can Acomplia Assist in Winning the Weight Loss Battle?

There are exciting promises sparking from a new drug called Acomplia that just may be a Dieter's Cloud With a Silver Lining.  

The following articles provide information on Acomplia (the name that Rimonabant will be marketed under) that we hope will provide insight.  

Keep in mind that Acomplia is the New Diet Pill Kid on the Block and as more information becomes available, we'll post that for you.

Acomplia (Rimonabant) How Does it Work?

Acomplia just may be the wonder drug of the future in regards to weight loss and combating smoking - two of the leading causes of death - and in their own race against one another as overeating fatalities are closely gaining on smoking fatalities - no pun intended.

In very simple terms, the theory relating to Acomplia and weight loss spins around the EC or Endocannsbinoid System which becomes over stimulated due to overeating or tobacco dependence.  

Acomplia works in suppressing the appetite - or cravings, thus resulting in weight loss. With the smoker, it works to suppress the cravings as well, thus resulting in the ability to quit smoking - without weight gain at that. 

Acomplia (Rimonabant) & Lower Cholesterol, The Lipid Wonder

Acomplia touts many strengths including 'body slim-down', an increase in good cholesterol numbers and then there's the smoking deterrent factor.

In regards to better cholesterol numbers, Acomplia reduced weight located in the abdominal area in the studies conducted over a two year period. Abdominal fat is a Kingpin of heart disease.

A substantial drop in weight attributed to taking Acomplia, constituted lower triglycerides, improved the HDL cholesterol levels (HDL is our good cholesterol), as well as helped desensitize insulin levels in the blood.

Another study unrelated to Acomplia involved niacin which also worked in raising HL- so until Acomplia comes on the market, you may want to talk with your doctor about the Niacin Factor.

What to expect when taking Acomplia.

Acomplia touts many strengths including the body slim-down, a increase in good cholesterol numbers and then there's the smoking deterrent factor.

In regards to weight loss, studies indicate that the person taking Acomplia can expect SIGNIFICANT weight loss results. About one-third of the people who took Acomplia for twenty-four months, lost five to ten percent of their body weight.

The weight that was lost in the studies was concentrated in the abdominal area - a chief caution spot for heart related disease. The individuals who remained on Acomplia were able to keep the weight off. However, the individuals that stopped taking Acomplia did regain the weight.

Side effects reported were nominal and included irritability, anxiety, depression and nausea.

Acomplia (Rimonabant) & Diet Pill Safety Concerns

How safe is Acomplia?  Based on studies, including a recent two year study involving Acomplia, the side effects for those individuals taking Acomplia were mild.

Some of the Acomplia side effects included: depression, irritability, and nausea. Acomplia is such a new drug that the dieter is encouraged to discuss any concerns with their health care provider.

As with all drugs, come risks. With smoking comes risks. With obesity comes risks.  Do the risks from smoking and obesity outweigh (no pun intended) the risks involved with Acomplia? These are questions that the dieter or smoker will want to discuss with their doctor.

Acomplia (Rimonabant) Quit Smoking Without Weight Gain

Acomplia May Conquer "After Weight" Gain for former smokers. One of the things that smoker's dread most about quitting smoking is the weight gain that follows. The reason weight gain ensues?

Nicotine works in suppressing appetite.  When appetite is suppressed, of course, the person eats less. Nicotine works in the body to raise blood sugar levels and when eradicated from the system, hunger rears its ugly head.

Acomplia touts not only the ability to deter smoking BUT the ability to fend off weight gain once the smoker has quit.  Since the fear of gaining weight after quitting smoking is one of the chief reasons that smokers have woes about going cold turkey, perhaps Acomplia offers much promise for people wanting to kick the smoking habit. 

Both obesity and smoking are two serious sharks in the Sea of Mortality and the sooner they are conquered, the better. Losing weight might seem like a very easy thing to do from a slim person's point of view - just like quitting smoking might be from a non-smoker's point of view.  However, these two dragons have very intense flames and it takes a real Health Warrior to win these type battles - Health Battles.

Could Acomplia be our Diet, Smokeless Knight in Shinning Armor? Only the future can reveal the answer.
