A member asked:
Can i use lipase inhibitors for weight loss?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Can, but: Lipase inhibitors may be used as one item in weight loss, keeping in mind the side effects, such as diarrhea, anal leakage, bloating, mal-absorption of fat soluble vitamins etc. Better option is to limit caloric intake and increase physical activity.
