How does Acomplia work?

Acomplia works on the endocannabinoid system, which is the used system to govern energy balance, glucose and lipid metabolism as well as body weight. Rimonabant, the active ingredient of Acomplia, works to block receptors called cannabinoid-1 receptors (CB1) which are found within this system in the brain, digestive system, liver, muscles and fat tissue. Within the brain these CB1 receptors are make up part of a system know as the mesolimbic system which regulates our intake of highly palatable, fatty or sweet foods. With these receptors blocked and further over action prevented not only do patients experience the benefits of appetite suppression but also an increase in metabolism and energy which would usually be reduced when using a weight loss programme alone. Acomplia has also been proven to be beneficial amongst patients with other high risk factors such as high cholesterol and diabetes by increasing the levels of HDL-cholesterol, commonly known as 'good fats' whilst reducing blood levels of bad fats as well as sugar levels. Does it stop me smoking? Acomplia has gone through clinical trials and during these trials; there is evidence to suggest that it helps with stopping your craving for nicotine as well as other possible addictions. However, in the UK, it has only been approved / licensed as an anti obesity drug and not for its smoking benefits. How does it differ from the others? Acomplia differs from the other two obesity treatments currently available in the UK, Xenical and Reductil, as it is the only one of these treatments to directly target the encannbinoid system. This means that not does Acomplia work well at suppressing appetite but it is also efficient at maintaining a patients metabolic rate which would usually fall as a result of dieting which is unlike any other treatment currently available.
