Accepted Answer

Weight loss.: If you plan to use a pharmacologic approach to weight loss  - Orlistat often does not require a prescription. However, a lot of what you might buy over the counter is likely to be ineffective. Would look into prescription medications with a medical provider if  you have not been able to lose and sustain weight loss through other methods.
