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 muscle(1). 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.
Rimonabant is the active ingredient in Acomplia which works by blocking
specific receptors in the brain. The CB1 receptors are parts of
the endocannabinoid system. This system governs the body's
appetite and thus affects energy balance, glucose and lipid
metabolism and body weight. Patients who purchase Acomplia
experience the feeling of being full quicker than normal.
You can order Acomplia only
if you have a BMI (Body Mass Index) above 30 or a BMI above 27
with associated risk factor(s), such as type 2diabetes or
dyslipidaemia.
Your intra-abdominal fat
which most people know as waist circumference can be reduced by
6-7cm after the patients order Acomplia. Clinical researches
show that Acomplia helps with stopping your craving for
nicotine. However, in the UK, as it has not been approved as an
anti-smoking medication, you can buy Acomplia only for its
anti-obesity benefits.
