Description

Orlistat is an FDA-approved over-the-counter (OTC) medication to enhance weight loss in overweight people, meaning that no prescription is needed to purchase Alli. It is recommended in combination with a healthy diet for patients older than 18 years.

The diet pills were developed and are commercialized by GlaxoSmith Kline (GSK) and may be used by both patients with a Body Mass Index (BMI) higher than 30, which is already considered obesity, or by overweight patients, with a BMI between 27 and 29.
