Acomplia "Wonder Drug" Gaining Momentum

The UK NHS (public health system) is considering approving Acomplia (Rimonabant) for use as early as 2006. The so-called 'wonder drug' has (according to clinical trials) been responsible for a 10% weight loss.

It remains to be seen whether long-term healthy weight loss will ever come in a pill.

UPDATE: All clinical trials have been completed. The drug may possibly be available during 2006. Comments now closed.

I was part of a Clinical Trial for 18 months, taking 20 mg of Accomplia daily. I lost 45 pounds, over the course of 7 months. I reached the proper weight for me easily. The drug takes away cravings for fats, sweets, and large amounts of food.
I was closely monitored during the trial, and remained in good health. My high blood pressure improved as did my energy level. I was moderately active, working p-time, walking, and exercising 3 times per week.
I had a strong sense of well-being and never felt deprived in any way. It has now been 2 years, and I have gained back just 5 pounds. My body seems to remember how much and what to eat. I highly recommend Accomplia, and hope that it comes on the market very soon for all who want and need to lose weight safely and keep it off.

I'd like to get more information on becoming part of the study or even receiving this product. I currently have high blood pressure and I'm 100 lbs over weight.

I've currently been on a eating plan (due to Self) and an exercise program for about 3 weeks.

I want to lose most of my weight and keep it off. I have diabetes in my family, as well as strokes, cancer, etc. I want to live a healthy life style and life for my me and my kids. I want to live to see my grandkids.

i have tried every diet pill that there is on the market. Xenical being one of the best. But after a period it stops working. I should like to be part of clinical trials on the new accomplia. I live in the Uk in the county of Essex on the borders of london.

A healthy 70 yr.old life long compulsive overeating struggler who would like some help with my ongoing, exhausting uphill daily battle to get and keep my weight/size at my healthy and comfortable goal. Will there be any trials planned for Mass.? Would be very willing to travel if I can also carry on with this at my home and perhaps with my local physician's monitering my progress. (Are there different dosages possible or administered?)

I also was part of the same clinical trial. I come from a family with a history of obiesity. I was able to reduce my weight from 230 to 173 in about 7 months. I had to drop out of the study for personal reasons and over the past 2 years have gained most of the weight back. I would certainly use the drug as soon as its on the market! It is not a wonder drug but a great tool to lose help along with a healthy diet plan.

I am writing an article on the link between obesity and cancer and would love to talk to someone about Accomplia who has either been in a clinical trial for Accomplia or another weight loss drug, is overweight, and worried about developing cancer or has cancer.
Please contact me at elizabethw@curetoday.com before July 8. Thank you!
