a proven diet drug, ANVISA, the Brazilian health authority finally
has privileged rimonabant, renowned extensively as Acomplia
and Zimulti, with a right for sale in Brazil, the largest country
of Latin America.
As per the approval granted by the Brazilian health authority, Acomplia, a clinically tested preparation will be utilized as an add-on to exercise and diet plan while the treatment of obese patients having BMI above 30 and overweight people with BMI more than 27. In addition, the marvelous preparation also comes handy in the treatment of people with associated risk factors like type 2 diabetes and dyslipidemia.
Thereby, now Brazil becomes a third country after the two large countries, Argentina and Mexico, where the diet drug have been generating waves and readily available in the market.
