Nevertheless, this must be placed in a proper context. Acomplia has, of course, been available on prescription in Europe for two years and there is no emerging evidence of problems sufficiently serious to justify withdrawing approval. Indeed, it has just been given a further level of approval in the UK. If acomplia continues to accumulate a positive safety record, this may offset any prejudicial implications in the US from the taranabant trials. What should be relatively uncontroversial is that the use of the cannabinoid system for the treatment of obesity should remain firmly on the research agenda. Acomplia continues to offer an effective supplement to diet and exercise regimes. As its effects are better understood, the reported side effects may be better controlled.
