Acomplia (rimonabant) has been licensed in the UK only for obesity treatment and not for smoking cessation. Although during clinical studies the drug clearly demonstrated a reduced craving for nicotine in patients the drug has only at the moment been approved treatment of obesity. As this is a prescription medication we strongly advise consulting your doctor or a certified physician. Our service is not/should not be considered as an alternative to the treatment advice your doctor can provide.

How does Acomplia work?
<br>

<br>
Acomplia works directly on the urge or craving to eat more. This is accomplished by working on the endocannabinoid system, a system affecting energy balance, glucose and lipid metabolism and body weight. Blocking certain receptors in the brain will result in the patient experiencing the feeling of being full thus wanting to eat less than normal. Along with using in conjunction with a calorie reduced diet and exercise it significantly helps obese patients achieve a weight loss.

Other Answers:
It should be approved for diabetes and weight this year, it will not be approved for use for smoking cessation as they could not convince the FDA as to its efficacy for that
