What are the problems with orlistat?

Because it prevents you from absorbing fat, you tend to have diarrhea with unpleasant smelly, fatty bowel movements. It can prevent you from absorbing certain vitamins and can sometimes cause an inflammation of the pancreas. The effects on weight loss also tend to go away over time. Most people have lost most of the weight they will lose by six months, and even after continuing to use orlistat for one or two years, many people regain part or all of the weight. One reason for this is that people figure out that if they eat less fat in their diet and replace it with more carbohydrate, then their bowel movements become less unpleasant and less frequent. But by eating more carbohydrate instead of fat, they absorb more calories and so regain their weight.
