Sanofi-aventis wish to inform you that, in compliance with the European Medicines Evaluation Agency, the marketing authorisation for Acomplia® (rimonabant) has been suspended as of 23rd October 2008.

This means for the time being Acomplia® is no longer available in pharmacies.

The It’sWhatYouGain patient support programme which is sponsored by sanofi-aventis, has therefore been discontinued from this date.

You should consult your healthcare professional at a convenient time to discuss your treatment.
