Tonight I was reading the May issue of Food and Drug Packaging and saw something very interesting. The Food and Drug Administration has given approval for GlaxoSmithKline to sell orlistat (which blocks fat from being absorbed and digested) without a prescription. The pill trade name "alli" is scheduled to be on retail shelves by June. So those of you who might have taken these before and had success with it can now resume this medication if it worked well for you in the past. As always discuss this with your personal physician before resuming this or any other type medication regardless if it's an over the counter med.
