Rimonabant (also known as Zimulti, Acomplia, Slimona or Obitone) is an anorectic anti obesity drug. It is a CB1 cannabinoid receptor antagonist. Rimonabant has been found to stop food craving enough to help people lose weight, and could also help curb other unhealthy urges, such as smoking. This is a non-control weightloss solution that in one study, helped people who were overweight drop an average of 20 pounds, and was found to be very useful for patients who suffer from obesity.

What is Obitone (Rimonabant) used for?

• Rimonabant is reported to have reduced the overall body fat by 10% in one out of three users. Also, it is reported that those users did not gain back more than a kilo over the next two years if the patients remained on Rimonabant.
• Rimonabant was recommended for those with a BMI of 30 or greater, who were considered obese, and is most successful when combined with exercise and a proper diet. It was not recommended for those who just wanted to lose a few pounds.
• Researchers are conducting studies to determine whether Rimonabant is also useful in smoking cessation treatment, and initial results are quite positive. There are indications that Rimonabant may reduce cocaine, ethanol and opiate seeking behavior.

        

How does Obitone (Rimonabant ) work?

• Rimonabant acts by selectively blocking CB1 receptors found in the brain and in peripheral organs important in glucose and lipid (or fat) metabolism, including adipose tissue, the liver, gastrointestinal tract and muscle1
• Rimonabant switches off the same brain circuits that make people hungry when they smoke cannabis
• CB1 receptor blockade with Rimonabant acts to decrease the overactivity of the endocannabinoid system (EC system)2,3. The EC system is a recently characterised physiological system that includes receptors such as the CB1 receptor and it has been shown to play an important role in regulating body weight and in controlling energy balance, as well as glucose and lipid (or fat) metabolism.

      

Does Obitone (Rimonabant) also aid smoking cessation?

Clinical trials have shown that heavy smokers, after being on a regular supplement of Rimonabant, have stopped smoking altogether. Smokers usually do not stop smoking for fear of weight-gain, which can be highly discouraging. However since Rimonabant works on the overeating and smoking factors simultaneously such problems wouldn't arise.
