How quickly can orlistat make you lose weight?
7 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
It depends: Diet pills work better when combined with lifestyle modification including proper nutrition and exercise. With orlistat (alli, xenical) you can expect 4 pounds or more per month. The side effects of orlistat including oily stains, fatty stools and fecal incontinence make it less desirable as a diet pill.
