The Zimulti Acomplia Report - News of Rimonabant
 

Now that a promising new prescription anti-obesity drug, rimonabant, is actually available in the U.K., Germany and 40 other countries, the launch of the most anticipated weight-loss medication since Fen-phen is generating a great deal of excitement among millions of obese and seriously overweight Americans and Europeans.

The drug, marketed in Europe as Acomplia, may ultimately be sold in the United States as Zimulti -- but that day appears several years off after an FDA advisory panel voted against sale of rimonabant in summer 2007 out of concern over its depressive side effects.

The Zimulti Acomplia Report, updated daily, will track the continuing efforts of Sanofi to get rimonabant approved for sale in the U.S. The Zimulti Acomplia Report also will provide news and reviews related to rimonabant so those eager to try this new anti-obesity drug will have the latest information on availability, weight-loss results and side-effects.
