Weight Loss Drug:-Acomplia By Sanofi Aventis

Acomplia diet pill has been found to stop both food and cigarette cravings enough to help people quit smoking and loose weight. Acomplia could also help curb unhealthy urges. Diet drug Acomplia in one study helped people who were overweight drop an average of 20 pounds and in another doubled the chances of smokers quitting. Acomplia is made by the French pharmaceutical giant Sanofi-Aventis.

Acomplia (Rimonabant) is a class apart from other available diet pills as it works by selectively targeting and blocking the CB1 receptors. This procedure helps in normalizing the over-activation of the EC system and makes hunger or cigarette pangs more manageable for its users.

The blocking of CB1 receptors by Acomplia that helps in controlling food cravings gradually results in weight loss, improvement of cardiovascular/ metabolic risk factors in overweight/obese patients and appears to reduce tobacco dependence without post cessation weight gain in people who smoke.

So, apart from its weight loss benefits, Acomplia can provide great relief to smokers by helping them overcome the life threatening habit.

Acomplia Side Effects
Acomplia can lead to several unwanted side effects such as mentioned below:

Depression


Anxiety


Nausea


Irritability

In general, Acomplia side effects seem to subside once adjustment to the drug is made. Side effects of Acomplia appear to be fewer and less severe than those of many other weight loss medications on the market. Acomplia shows more promise as a diet pill as it has relatively low incidence of side effects as compared to the available weight loss drugs. Its positive effects on weight loss and its apparent ability to maintain healthy blood pressure, blood sugar and cholesterol level is going to prove immensely beneficial for its users.

Some scientist have showed concern about the side effects of the drug on mental level and some believe that the FDA will want to cautiously study the long-rage use of the drug for possible risks before giving its approval to be sold in the market, which could take some years.
