Dear friend and fellow athlete,
 Since I reported to you last year about the new diet drug Rimonabant (then only available in Europe), there have been some exciting developments and now, Rimonabant, a.k.a. Acomplia, is finally available for ordering online. This is the most exciting diet drug to come along in years. Not since some of the stimulant based diet drugs of years past have I been as interested in a new diet drug. Plus, I've also found a pharmacy online that will give EF members a 10% discount off their already low prices. Aside from the fact that you cannot even get the stuff in the US yet, I order my prescriptions online and have never had any trouble getting them -- completely legally -- and not getting scammed. I like ordering them online because there is no appointment, no embarrassment, no waiting room, it is completely confidential, and the ordering is secure.

The story behind Rimonabant is very interesting indeed. As anyone who has ever smoked marijuana can attest to, a little grass often results in a bad case of the munchies - making you want to eat everything in sight! That phenomenon is what led researchers to study marijuana. What is it about pot that makes you so hungry? And if marijuana stimulates a receptor in the brain that makes you want to eat, what would happen if we could block that same receptor? Wouldn't blocking this receptor make you feel full?
Indeed it would!
Rimonabant blocks your receptors
of a substance called cannabinoid 1. Found prominently in fat tissue
throughout the body, cannabinoid 1 (CB 1) is the substance that is most
responsible for stimulating hunger and other cravings in the brain. Since
Rimonabant works to suppress CB1 from causing cravings
in the brain, it is also a powerful appetite suppressant.
Results from previous clinical trials have
backed up many of the claims made by Sanofi-Aventis about its possible
blockbuster drug Rimonabant. In a couple of trials called RIO: EUROPE
and RIO: NORTH AMERICA, almost one-third of the patients participating
in the two year study had a weight reduction of 10% by the end of
the trials. Waist Circumference was also toned down by a whopping
3 inches in both of the studies as well.
And these aren’t the only benefits that
patients in the trials experienced either. All of those taking part
in the clinical studies had higher levels of the good cholesterol, HDL. The
positives didn’t stop here either as everyone seemed to show a
decrease in triglycerides (high levels can lead to heart disease) and
an improved sensitivity to insulin.
Many people not only struggle to lose weight
but also have trouble when trying to quit smoking. Amazingly, Rimonabant can help solve that problem as well.
There’s a long list of foods that bodybuilders
and other athletes try to avoid. Among these are fast foods, fattening
snacks, and sugary drinks as long-term or excessive consumption of these
kinds of foods can leave a person overweight and forced to deal with
multiple health problems. But eating stuff like this is often a
nasty habit that some athletes just can’t seem to shake no matter
how hard they try.
An even nastier habit that athletes
can fall into is smoking which might be even more detrimental to one’s
physical goals. Smoking leads to increased blood pressure and heart
rate as well as various lung diseases and none of this adds up to bettering
one’s body. Obviously, the combination of fatty foods and
smoking equals a decrease in one’s athletic performance.
So athletes and people alike often need to
turn to various drugs to curb the disastrous effects that such habits
can create. Unfortunately, this usually means that they have to
take both a dieting drug and a smoking cessation drug separately in order
to fulfill both needs. But with Rimonabant, there's a drug that can
satisfy both demands. No longer are you required to
take multiple medications in order to keep your weight down and your
nicotine cravings in check.
But the results of the Rimonabant trials weren’t
all rosy though as there were a few reported side effects too. Some
of the more mild ones were nausea, joint pain, dizziness, diarrhea, and
vomiting. However, these effects were reported to have decreased
as the body becomes more accustomed to the drug. Another side effect
came in the form of depression, stemming
from discontinued use of the drug. It was even reported that some
of the patients’ weights increased along with their psychiatric
problems after their use of Rimonabant ended.
These side effects remain question
marks as to how well the drug will sell but its approval as a diet aid
is no longer in question as Rimonabant is already being sold in the United
Kingdom and now online. It has also received approval from the Food and Drug Administration
for the sale in the United States and will be hitting the shelves sometime
in the future (possibly under the name Zimulti in the U.S. as opposed
to its brand name of Rimonabant in Europe).
While Rimonabant’s ride to approval as
a diet drug may have been fairly easy, as far as getting by the FDA’s
rigorous standards goes, its approval as a smoking cessation aid has
been met with nothing but controversy. The drug that was once dubbed
as being able to double the odds of helping people to put down cigarettes somehow failed to live up to its own boasts in the eyes
of the FDA as they rejected its use as a smoking cessation aid.
Sanofi-Aventis was shocked to say the least
after the rejection of their prized Rimonabant as a smoking suppressor. Two
trials failed to sway the FDA’s opinion of Rimonabant and the decision
was made in February to put a halt to one half of the dream drug’s
marketability. If Sanofi-Aventis hopes for Rimonabant to ever become
a smoking cessation aid, they will have to conduct another trial that
can prove once and for all that the drug is an effective aid to those
wishing to break the smoking habit.
Even though its approval for smoking cessation
is currently in limbo, Rimonabant hasn’t lost its momentum in the
media and continues to create excitement among those wishing to shed
some pounds. Rimonabant has already been said to help those with
diabetes in addition to keeping people’s weight down while they
are on anti-depressants.
Furthermore, the latest news on the drug is
that it may play a role in fighting breast cancer in women. This
was reported after some tests were performed on mice by Italian researchers
that revealed Rimonabant inhibited the growth of a highly dangerous form
of breast cancer called MBA-MB-231.
Plus the price of Rimonabant is currently
lower in the United Kingdom than what was expected, providing an even
bigger push to Sanofi-Aventis’ goal of selling 5 billion dollars-worth
of Rimonabant/Zimulti each year. It has been selling for right around
55 pounds in Britain (about $100 U.S.) and is actually one of the cheapest
diet drugs on the market as of now.
It’s still up in the air as to whether
Rimonabant will hit the United States market under the name Rimonabant
or Zimulti but it is already clear that the drug’s arrival is anxiously
awaited. New benefits stemming from Rimonabant’s
use are constantly popping up in the headlines everyday it seems and
the prospect of losing 10% of one’s body weight in one year already
has people rushing to buy it online.
Despite the jury still being out on its smoking
cessation benefits, many people already swear by Rimonabant and the crowd
just keeps growing. Is Rimonabant the end to the world’s
(especially America’s) fight against obesity? The jury is
still out on this as well but I think many people across the globe are
willing to give it a try.
Rimonabant is quickly becoming a popular topic of conversation in the news. Check out these informative news stories and videos!
