Correct response:
•
Rimonabant (Acomplia)

Acomplia is the newest medication used to treat obesity. It stimulates weight
reduction and improves cardiovascular disease risk factors in obese patients
with metabolic syndrome. Meridia was recently pulled from the market

medication. Orlistat, available by prescription and over the counter as Alli,
reduces caloric intake by binding to gastric and pancreatic lipase to prevent
digestion of fats.
