Sanofi Pulls FDA Application for Anti-Obesity Drug, Acomplia

July 9, 2007 By MedNews Leave a Comment

French pharmaceutical group Sanofi-Aventis said Friday it had withdrawn an application for regulatory approval for its anti-obesity drug Acomplia in the United States.
A panel of experts from the US Food and Drug Administration concluded earlier this month that the dieting treatment, referred to as rimonabant by the company, was unsafe and should not be sold in the United States.
