It works by blocking a percentage of the fat in a meal from being absorbed. Because the fat is not absorbed, it is excreted in the stool. It can cause diarrhea and %26quot;oil staining%26quot;. Oil staining was explained to me as sitting on the couch and upon standing, finding an oily area where you just sat, only you weren%26#039;t aware that it was happening.
Personally I would never take this medication. I have known quite a few people who have tried it and the side effects just aren%26#039;t worth the little good it can do. pharmacist 2% 1 Vote

You take a pill with every meal, and instead of digesting fat, you get the runs afterwards. You%26#039;ll still need to exercise to lose weight. Researchers found that alot of people lost weight because they ate less fat because the side effects were so unpleasant.
During testing, people taking the pill three times a day lost an average of six pounds.
The version that will be made available to consumers is only half the strength.
This isn%26#039;t a miracle drug. It%26#039;ll cause nasty side effects, and you%26#039;ll still have to diet and exercise to lose any weight 0% 0 Votes
