A member asked:
If taking xenical and precose (acarbose) together can help me lose weight?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
To a slight: extent although precose (acarbose) is more for controlling blood sugar. Whatever you do, it must be combined with dietary restriction and increased physical activity. Unfortunately, between the fecal leakage sometimes seen with orlistat and the flatulance with precose (acarbose), you may be a social outcast.
