(also known as Orlistat, Alli)

Orlistat is used as an aid to help you lose weight. The medicine prevents the digestion of some of the fat you eat. Fats that are not digested cannot be absorbed and therefore do not contribute calories. To give the greatest weight loss, orlistat must be used with a weight-reduction diet.

Wouldnt try it again
They used to give it free to people who couldn't afford it. It works fine if you diet and exercise, but it does keep you from gaining more weight if you eat the same as always.

Hated the fact that I leaked when I went over my fat intake!
Used reductil, was great and I'd use it again if I wasn't breastfeeding and not working. Had a great anti-depressant effect too which was a bonus
just pooped alot

Reductil actually, and it was then that all the problems started. Really hit me with the sleep loss side effect, although they kept hunger pains at bay for a bit they cost the earth!!

this did not work my doctor said I didn't eat enough fatty foods.
I was miserable! hated it and I don't think it worked.

weight will come back
I took the prescription Xenical and this was a help but I didn't find the phone support to be very helpful. Side effects were not too bad, it forces you to eat right.
