Xenical
Xenical (generic name: orlistat) is a drug that promotes loss of weight by preventing the digestion and absorption of dietary fat. In the intestine, an enzyme called lipase (produced primarily by the pancreas) breaks apart dietary fat so that the fat can be absorbed into the body. Orlistat blocks the action of lipase and thereby prevents the breakup and absorption of fat. The unabsorbed fat is excreted in the stool. Orlistat was approved by the FDA in 1999.
