Acomplia - good news for obese people in sweden

@ 11:53 PM (26 months, 7 days ago)
Hi friends, yesterday i read a news about a latest weight loss drug acomplia. It was suggested that the diet drug acomplia is ready for sale in sweden. The reimbursement approval, granted by the Pharmaceutical Benefits Board, is the third Sanofi has obtained in the European Union for the potential blockbuster drug and comes as the company awaits word about the pill's fate in the United States.  Sanofi on Oct. 26 submitted its full response to a request for extra information by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. It could find out as early as Friday the health authority's time frame for a decision on marketing clearance for Acomplia, which could come either in two months or in six months. Acomplia is already sale in UK and gives better results. Sanofi has said it would communicate the FDA's decision on timing, which most analysts expect to be six months. The FDA has two to three weeks to react to additional drug information provided by a company.Acomplia became available by prescription in Sweden on Friday.The drug is already covered for reimbursement by health services in Denmark and Ireland following EU marketing approval, but it is still unclear if it will get similar treatment elsewhere.In Germany, health insurers have dismissed Acomplia as a "lifestyle" drug and are refusing reimbursement. Sanofi has said it would appeal if the Health Ministry followed the insurers' recommendation.
