( r 5mg or 20mg rimonabant compared with...)20 Mg Rimonabant Per Day may Help to Quit Smoking,Health

r 5mg or 20mg rimonabant, compared with those who moved to placebo treatment after quitting.

Quitting with 5mg rimonabant: People who wanted to quit appeared to gain no benefit from 5 mg rimonabant treatment. Furthermore the people who did manage to quit using this lower dose were equally likely to remain abstinent whether they continued with rimonabant treatment or moved to a placebo.

Weight gain: Weight gain appeared to be significantly lower in people who quit while using 20 mg rimonabant than those taking either 5 mg rimonabant or placebo.

The differences in weight between the groups appeared to be maintained through longest follow-up. This beneficial effect was more evident in overweight or obese smokers than in those of normal weight.

From the preliminary data that we found it appears that 20mg rimonabant may significantly increase a persons likelihood of quitting and may also reduce the amount of weight that they gain, says Cahill.
