The prevalence of obesity is growing in the United States, rising from just over 5% in 2000 to over 30% by 2025. Obesity is a chronic disease that affects every organ system, including the brain, lungs, skin, heart, blood vessels, and skeletal muscle.
Obesity is the result of two key factors. One, lifestyle choices, such as smoking and excessive alcohol consumption, can lead to obesity.
The other, and probably the most important, is the rising prevalence of type 2 diabetes. Studies have shown that in individuals with type 2 diabetes, the risk of developing diabetes is greater than the placebo group.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved Orlistat, a medication that prevents or limits fat absorption, in the form of a pill.
The FDA is also evaluating a class of drugs called lipase inhibitors. These drugs work by inhibiting the absorption of dietary fat from food, which helps reduce the amount of fat that can be absorbed.
The FDA has also approved a class of medications called HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors. These drugs are used in people who have high levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), which can block the production of the enzyme that makes cholesterol.
The FDA also has approved a medication called Sustiva.
Sustiva is the generic version of Orlistat, available as a prescription medication under the brand name Alli.

Orlistat is a brand name for the drug orlistat. It is used to treat obesity. Orlistat was first approved by the FDA in 1999 and has been available to purchase through a number of pharmacies and online retailers.
Orlistat is used to lower levels of a set of gastrointestinal symptoms, such as the presence of fats in the stool, in people who are at risk for developing these symptoms.
Orlistat works by inhibiting the absorption of dietary fat from food, which helps reduce the amount of fat absorbed.
It does this by blocking the enzyme that is responsible for the production of fat in the intestines.
The fat you eat is then absorbed into your body through your stools. Orlistat prevents the breakdown of fats from being broken down into simple compounds called lipases.
Because it blocks the production of lipases, it helps block some of the absorption of nutrients that are important to the body. It also helps reduce the amount of fat that is absorbed from the diet.
When taken with a meal, Orlistat is usually taken for three to four days, during which time it can assist in weight loss.
Like all medications, Orlistat can cause side effects. These are usually mild and temporary.
Common side effects of Orlistat include:
