Xenical
A prescription solution for those who are severely overweight or obese.
BACKGROUND
Xenical is a weight loss medication that is available by prescription for extremely overweight and obese people. It prevents the body from absorbing about 30 percent of the fat that you eat. Though it is marketed under the trade name Xenical, this medication is better known as Orlistat.
If you don't get a prescription for Orlistat from your doctor, you can get a lower dose of this medication over the counter. The FDA-approved weight loss drug Alli (pronounced ally), marketed by GlaxoSmithKline, is essentially a 60mg Orlistat capsule that you can obtain without a prescription.
In order to avoid some of the unsightly side effects, as well as reap all the weight loss benefits, you'll follow a diet that is made of 30 percent or less fat, like the American Heart Association diet.
