Acomplia

Acomplia (rimonabant) has been specially designed for people suffering from obesity. It helps to lose weight by reducing appetite and letting the patient consume less food without suffering from this kind of dieting. Acomplia is not going to help you lose weight if you simply take it without applying any effort. This drug is complementary to a healthier diet and regular exercise. Your diet is supposed to be low in fat and calories and exercise can be gentle but regular. You can discuss these very important aspects with your health care provider before being prescribed this medicine. If you take Acomplia exactly as prescribed without missing doses or taking too much, you can expect to lose up to 20 pounds during the first year of the treatment. Since Acomplia does not burn your fat and lets you eat less, the treatment is bound to get you accustomed to a new lifestyle that you will need to follow after you withdraw from the treatment. The effects of Acomplia are based on affecting certain areas of your brain responsible for the feeling of hunger, which is why it’s so important that you take this medicine regularly for it to stay at the same level in your bloodstream. Even though most patients tolerate this medicine very well, the following mild side effects are possible while your body is adjusting to the dose prescribed: vomiting, nausea, depressions, nausea, dizziness, diarrhea, and sleep problems. These side effects are considered to be mild, but if any of them continue for a long time or get more severe – make sure you talk to your doctor over the phone or in person to see if any changes to your treatment need to be done. Never exceed the dose prescribed and take more of this medicine than recommended, as this can cause a number of overdose symptoms that your doctor will need to be notified of. The following overdose symptoms are possible: euphoria, fatigue, headache, and insomnia. It’s not recommended to combine Acomplia with any medications like telithromycin, nefazodone, itraconazole, ritonavir, clarithromycin, ketaconazole, phenobarbital, or phenytoin, as these have been reported to interfere with the success of your treatment, adding to the side effects you may experience. If you think the dose you have been prescribed is not working for you and you do not notice any progress – make sure you talk to your doctor before adjusting the dose yourself.
