“Orlistat is very good with a weight loss diet that is low in fat....... But be warned as time goes by it is not as effective as it was in the first initial stages of taking the prescription....... Expect after several months only to be reducing weight by 0.5 to 1lb of weight....... But that is still a loss. I have been on orlistat with a diet for 7 months and have lost 2 stone 2 lb.”
