In one of the most well-known drugs with a side effect that recalls some potato chips and other products with ‘alternative fat’ in them, anal-leakage and Xenical (or ‘orlistat’) go hand-in-hand. Today, the annoucment rang out that finally an over-the-counter drug had been approved by the FDA for weight loss.
Now, since the FDA requires clinical studies in order for any product to make claims to assist in the cure or treatment of any condition, this is kinda earth shattering, however, then they said it was a reduced dosage of Xenical – OTC Orlistat. Better yet, they said they named it Alli, in order to show the spirit of joint effort in weight loss. ? Huh ? Alli doesn’t say anything to me other than lets go ride on a flying carpet!
So, I thought YouTube could provide us with some interesting fodder for viewing, and I found this Columbian commerical for Xenical. Check it out, all the chubby folks get all upset over some announcement, but the best part is the closing credits. They have a website and a special CLUB, yes a CLUB, just for Xenical users… Wow! Can I join?!?!
The non-prescription version will contain half the prescription strength of Xenical, so doubling your dose would seem to reproduce the same effect as Xenical and it’s estimated cost will run $1 to $2 a day, making even a double dose affordable. But remember, those who continue to consume foods high in fat content, remember, anal leakage is a known side-effect of this drug.
They had me at hello, but lost me on anal leakage. Ed.
