Description
Weight-loss drug. Conceptual image of a drug capsule on a plate with a knife and fork, representing the use of pharmaceutical drugs to aid weight loss. This is a pill of the anti-obesity drug orlistat (tetrahydrolipstatin). It works by preventing the absorption of fat from food. Side-effects include loose, oily faeces. Non-prescription (over-the-counter) use was first approved in 2007 and 2009 in the USA and Europe, though in some areas its use is controversial.
