Sanofi-Aventis, the manufacturer of Accomplia, received approval to sell Acomplia (Rimonabant) in Britain in June 2006. It originally sold for 1.97 pounds or $3.50 per tablet, which was a cheaper than expected, launch price for Acomplia. This price makes Acomplia cheaper than other diet drugs. It is believed that the price of Acomplia will be higher in the United States if/when it receives FDA approval. There has been a tremendous demand for cheap Acomplia even though it is not widely available. It is possible to buy Acomplia from online pharmacies both in Britain and in other countries where Acomplia is not yet available for sale, however, the price remains at premium levels.

It is gradually becoming possible to find cheap Acomplia online. Thirty capsules can be purchased at $40 rather than $50 and 60 capsules for about $80 rather than $100. As Acomplia becomes more available and receives approval for use in other countries besides Britain, it is expected that cheap Accomplia will readily available as demand and quantities grow.

Cheap Acomplia is popular due to the multi-function nature of the drug and the fact that it works differently from other diet pills on the market. Acomplia blocks one of two receptors, the CB1 receptor, that are is part of the Endocannabinoid System, which plays an important role in regulating appetite. Acomplia specifically targets and blocks the CB1 receptors, which then helps to regulate the Endocannabinoid System resulting in less desire/cravings for food. The success of Acomplia in suppressing appetite resulting in weight loss is a major factor in the demand for cheap Acomplia.
