Rimonabant

Rimonabant can be prescribed by your health care provider if you have been diagnosed with obesity and other methods of weight loss do not seem to work in your case. Before the treatment make sure you talk to a qualified professional who will tell you whether this medicine is suitable for you, or there is another alternative you are first supposed to try. In fact, people who are prescribed rimonabant are required to present proof that they have already tried different other methods but did not succeed. Patients that have been prescribed medicines to improve blood lipids, medicines for weight loss, clarithromycin, nefazodone, telithromycin, diabetes drugs, epilepsy medicines, ketaconazole, depression medicines, itraconazole, ritonavir, or rifampicin, should report these drugs to their health care provider before asking for prescription, as drug interactions are possible. Some of the medicines mentioned above can intensify the effects of rimonabant, causing unpleasant symptoms or alter the effects it has on you, as a result you may not fully benefit from the treatment. Also you shouldn’t stop the treatment or adjust the dose yourself before discussing this step with your health care provider.
