Acomplia

Acomplia (rimonabant) is a prescription medicine designed for the needs of obese people that are unable to lose weight without taking special drugs. It reduces your appetite and you can do with less food as a result of that. People with BMI (body mass index) greater than 30 are most likely to benefit from taking Acomplia. Before you start taking this medication, make sure you talk to your health care provider about any risks associated with the treatment. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, taking Acomplia may not be completely safe for you. A history of an allergic reaction to this drug may also prevent you from using Acomplia for your treatment. You will be most likely recommended to take a 20 mg dose of Acomplia once a day before breakfast. It’s important to remember that simply taking Acomplia is unlikely to help you lose weight – you will need to combine it with regular exercising and dieting. Mild side effects are possible when taking Acomplia. Make sure you tell your health care provider about any of the following symptoms if they get more severe with time or change in intensity: sleep problems, nausea, anorexia, dizziness, restlessness, irritability, vomiting, irritability, anxiety, depression, or dry mouth. Mention to your health care provider any health conditions you have or used to have, especially any of the following ones: liver problems, impaired kidney function or a history of epilepsy. Some drugs you are taking can cause interactions with Acomplia, such as ketaconazole, phenytoin, clarithromycin, phenobarbital, telithromycin, nefazodone, ritonavir, itraconazole, or carbamazeptine. This medicine may be harmful to an unborn or nursing infant. Make sure you avoid getting pregnant while taking it and report any cases of pregnancy directly to your doctor. Some tablets of Acomplia may contain lactose, which can be dangerous for people allergic to lactose. The following inactive ingredients may be also found in this medication: croscarmellose sodium, lactose monohydrate, lactose monohydrate, titanium dioxide, microcrystalline cellulose, magnesium stearate, sodium laurilsulfate, povidone, or maize starch. An overdose of Acomplia is not expected to be too serious, but you will need to report it to your health care provider or local emergency center. The following symptoms may indicate an overdose of Acomplia: headache, insomnia, euphoria, and fatigue.
