How to Buy Acomplia

Acomplia (rimonabant) is a weight loss medication which targets the body's endocannabinoid system. The endocannabinoid system is responsible for the regulation of energy consumption and expenditure and it is believed to be overactive in most overweight people, thereby causing them to eat more food than their body actually requires. By blocking the activity of the CB1 receptor, Acomplia helps to normalise the operation of the endocannabinoid system, making hunger pangs and cravings much more manageable. This should lead to a reduction in food intake and a consequential loss of weight.

Acomplia is a prescription medication so you must complete an online consultation form before you can purchase this medication. Consultations are free and you are under no obligation to make a purchase.

Is Acomplia Right for You?

Acomplia (rimonabant) is indicated as a weight loss aid for overweight and obese people to be used as an adjunct to diet and exercise. As the medication is only available on prescription it is not suitable for everyone. If you complete the free weight loss consultation then one of our doctors will check your suitability. It is very important that you answer all the questions truthfully and disclose all relevant information about your medical history. This will allow us to make an accurate diagnosis and treatment recommendation. We will also assess you for other slimming medications such as Xenical and Reductil. If you are a suitable for Acomplia, Reductil and Xenical then we will approve you for all three, allowing you an informed choice as to which one you would prefer. Members of staff are on hand to answer any questions that you might have.

Is Acomplia Effective?

Before Acomplia was approved for use it had to go through extensive clinical trials to demonstrate its safety and effectiveness. Acomplia was tested on 6800 patients during the phase 2 and 3 clinical trials. In order to demonstrate the effectiveness of Acomplia (rimonabant) it was compared against the results from a placebo control group so half the volunteers were given the real medication and the remainder of patients were given a placebo. Neither group was told whether they were on the real medication or the placebo.

The trial lasted two years and those taking Acomplia lost (on average) 4 times more weight than those taking the placebo. Most of the weight loss happened in the first 9 months and the Acomplia patients had managed to keep this weight off when the trial ended. Clearly Acomplia does not work for everyone in a uniform way. Just over half of the people on Acomplia managed a weight loss of 5% of their total body weight. The medication seemed more effective for another 27% who managed to lose 10% of their total body weight.

In addition to the weight loss achieved, patients had a reduction in waist circumference. The visceral fat that accumulates around the waist has been linked to heart disease and diabetes so any reduction will lead to an improvement in a patient's risk profile for these conditions. A reduction in cholesterol levels was also observed beyond those that you would normally associate with weight loss alone so Acomplia appears to have a beneficial impact on blood lipids.

Acomplia and Smoking

We often get asked about prescribing Acomplia for people who want to give up smoking. Although there was some evidence from the clinical trials that Acomplia could help people quit smoking it has not been licensed for this purpose. If you are looking to give up smoking then we might be prepared to prescribe Champix depending on your medical history. Please navigate to the smoking cessation consultation page to start your free consultation.

Side Effects

As with all medications, Acomplia has potential side effects. Most people do not suffer any side effects at all with Acomplia but it is important that you disclose your full medical history when you complete your consultation form and this will help to ensure that the correct medication is prescribed and will reduce your chances of having unwanted side effects. If you are approved to purchase Acomplia by one of our doctors then the full list of potential side effects will be set out in the pre-purchase guidance.

Acomplia Prices

As with all prescription medications, the MHRA has advised us that we cannot publish Acomplia prices prior to an online consultation with a doctor. We are confident that our prices are the most competitive in the UK so if you see Acomplia cheaper elsewhere, we will be happy to beat those prices so long as the medication is being dispensed from a UK registered pharmacy.
