Acomplia " Best Weight Loss Pills" of our times?

Acomplia, goes by the generic name Rimonbant. This is being considered as the best weight loss pills and is the new anti-obesity drug of the future. Apparently it can reduce weight and help people quite smoking. In addition, Acomplia increases the levels of good cholesterol (HDL) in the body, while reducing the triglycerides (bad cholesterol).

Recently we have come to know that Acomplia functions by blocking a cellular receptor (CB-1) found in the brain and fat cells (which is involved in people experience pleasurable sensations and therefore leads to cravings). Acomplia blocks this receptor and decreases cravings, which helps to curb appetites and stop tobacco cravings. It is generally advised not to take Acomplia for over a period of two years.

The claim of being the best weight loss pills ever (fat burning pills) is a big claim. It is believed that Acomplia suppresses appetite and the longing to overeat. It can be used not only as a weight loss pill but as a smoking cessation drug as well and we know that both of these are associated at some level.

Studies have shown that obese patients treated for one year on the highest dose of Acomplia (Acomplia 20 mg) per day shed an average of 19 pounds and lost 3.5 inches of waistline, researchers showed, while 39 percent lost more than one-10th of their body weight while taking Acomplia. Acomplia also boosted levels of "good" HDL cholesterol in the blood by 27 percent. You can see why this would brand the drug to be the “best weight loss pills (fat burning pills) of our times. The results of this study are not verified but sound promising.

Like all other diet pills it Acomplia may cause some side effects. Dizziness, nausea, irritability, depression and restlessness are some of the adverse side effects of Acomplia which occur in the initial phase. These should gradually disappear with the regular use of the drug. Benefit to risk ratio will favor Acomplia's positive effects on weight loss, smoking cessation, and its aptitude to maintain a healthy cholesterol level, blood sugar and blood pressure.

Precautions if you decide to take Acomplia:
