Acomplia - good news for obese people in sweden
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.
