The very first Obesity Panacea post was written back in November 2008. The
topic of that post was the removal from the European market of an obesity
medication that had been previously heralded as a potential panacea (but
was never approved in US or Canada). That drug was rimonabant (Acomplia),
an appetite suppressant that works by blocking the CB-1 receptors of the
endocannabinoid system the same system which induces the munchies in
response to smoking cannabis. Rimonabant not only suppressed appetite, but
was associated with anxiety and depressive mood disorders the same
side-effects which initially prompted the US FDA to refuse approval of
rimonabant back in 2007.
.
Two years later, another appetite-suppressing medication, sibutramine
(Accomplia) was also withdrawn from the Canadian and US market due to
increased risk of cardiovascular events and strokes.
.
Thus, over the past five years there was only a single obesity medication
available to obese patients in Canada orlistat (Xenical). This agent
reduces the absorption of ingested fat by about 30%. The 30% that doesnt
get absorbed ends up in the stool, which, as youd expect, can result in
some rather challenging gastrointestinal side effects (e.g. oily
discharge).
.
All of that changed yesterday (Feb. 26), when Health Canada approved a new
obesity medication.

obese Canadians who only had one option for a medication to help them lose
weight (and have oily flatulence), now have another option.
