Big f-ing deal. Glaxo will make so much more money with Alli than Roche did with Xenical. If it's any comparison, Xenical has been over the counter here in Mexico since day#1; no change in gen.pop. obesity.<br/><br/>I'll give you all sorts of parasites down here for free. Really. Dosing schedule is far easier too--usually just some unremarkable, clear liquid that tastes exactly like natural water once every week or two. Take that, Alli! ;) Orlistat is available over the counter. Big f-ing deal. Glaxo will make so much more money with Alli than Roche did with Xenical.

That is ingenious! Though, consider the real effect of a medicine. Wouldn't that be consider the side effect if you consider the current side effect to be your primary affection?

It does seem to give me a headache, although I can't see how this would be true.<br/><br/>I eat a relatively low-fat, high (soluble and insoluble) fiber diet. I have upped my fat intake a little because now I don't pay the full calorie price. Perhaps this buffers the effect of eating the entire tray of parisian-style chocolate macarons I made last night (made with almond flour). <br/><br/>That's a rare binge, but nothing happened in the way of "aversive therapy". Oat bran to the rescue? I have yet to experience any negative GI side-effects from Alli. It does seem to give me a headache, although I can’t see how this would be true.
