Orlistat is a prescription drug that reduces the overall amount of fat that is absorbed by the body in order to achieve weight loss. However, there have been concerns with the risks involved with this drug.
For our review, we found out more about these risks and whether they were worth it.

Description:
According to several studies and reviews, there is no question that Orlistat does help with weight loss.
However, these same studies and reviews also reported that the loss is mediocre at best and the potential risks are great. Orlistat also must be used in combination with a doctor approved diet and exercise. Without a different diet and exercise, Orlistat may even produce weaker results.
We highly questioned whether this was worth it with the long list of possible side effects associated with Orlistat.
Side effects of this drug may include loose stool, gas, fecal incontinence, diarrhea, and even cancer. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) even placed the drug under investigation in June of 2009.
Compare effectiveness of Orlistat pills with other weight loss pills.
Top Benefits:
Orlistat pills are available in every pharmacy.
Negative:
Posside effects include gas, fecal incontinence, diarrhea. Components of Orlistat are not natural. Should be combined with exercise.
In addition, our experts highly recommend using a multi-vitamin in combination with this drug. This is because the drug may also stop the absorption of healthy vitamins and nutrients that the body needs to survive, in addition to stopping the absorption fat. Without a multi-vitamin the drug could potentially produce a problematic vitamin deficiency.
WLT Conclusion:
In conclusion, we believe that the potential amount of weight loss that could be had with this drug is not worth the risk. In fact, even if the potential amount of weight loss was much higher we still would not believe it is worth the risk. There are other weight loss options that are made from all natural ingredients, do not have dangerous side effects, and may be much more effective than Orlistat.
We prefer weight loss aids that contain natural ingredients.

I tried one bottle and experienced the side effects, with little difference in my weight. I doubt that I will try it again.

I started taking Zumba classes three months ago and I love it! I started taking Alli at the same time and I've lost 7 pounds. While I can't say for sure whether it was the pills or the dancing. I couldn't be more thrilled! I'll keep posting my results.

Based on my personal experience, I don't recommend Alli because I saw no difference in my weight, though I did get full faster. Everyone responds differently, though, so someone else may have better results.

My husband is taking Alli, but doesn't seem to be losing weight. We're giving it more time and hope it will start working soon.
