Acomplia Review

Acomplia is a  perscripion drug that is known to help control addictions and cravings. It is generally used to help individuals with their addiction to cigareetes and to help them quit smoking. It is marketed towards smokers who fear that quitting smoking may result in weight gain. Acomplia is said to help individuals to do both: lose weight and quit smoking.

There are many supplements on the market today advertised as serving two functions like this. It is uncertain if the product is designed to work equally for weight management, as it is for smoking cessation. Acomplia is designed to work by blocking the signals sent by nerve receptors in the brain and fat cells that are believed to make people want to overeat and smoke. It is proven that weight loss  occurs by limiting caloric intake.

How Does Acomplia Work? 

Acomplia is advertised to aid in weight loss mainly by suppressing the appetite and reducing hunger cravings. It is marketed more towards the over weight smoker who is looking to stop smoking and avoid weight gain. According to acomplia’s official site there are several negative side effects expected to occur within the first years of use. These include nausea, irritability, depression and anxiety.  The drug also “acts on the brain which is especially likely to elevate concerns.” Some suggest that the positive results outnumber the negative effects. Acomplia is only available by prescription making it more difficult and expensive to obtain, especially for those without health insurance.

How Much is Acomplia? 

As we know, pharmaceuticals can be expensive. An online pharmacy sells 20 mg capsules of Acomplia in three different quantities: 28 capsules for about $254; 56 capsules for about $485; and 84 capsules for about $717. Acomplia may be effective in supporting weight loss goals, but there may be better, less expensive options available for most individuals.
