If you experience any of these side effects, seek medical attention immediately. These are symptoms of a serious adverse reaction–or allergic reaction–to this medication and require treatment right away.
Orlistat has been shown to affect the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins (vitamin A, D, E and K). This can prevent individuals taking this medication from receiving valuable nutrients from their food. Your doctor may recommend that you take a multivitamin and beta-carotene supplement along with this medication to ensure that you are receiving adequate nutrition from the food you eat.
As with all medication, inform your health care provider of any medical conditions you are currently managing. Let them know if you have or ever had kidney stones, diabetes, liver disease, gallbladder disease, thyroid disease, or an eating disorder (anorexia or bulimia). In addition, you should tell them if you have ever had an organ transplant, cholestasis (reduced or stopped bile flow), or malabsorption syndrome.
Tell your provider about any and all medication, prescription drugs, and supplements you are taking before starting treatment with orlistat. Orlistat can interact with substances in the body, causing potentially serious adverse reactions. Specifically, you should inform them of any immunosuppressant medication you are currently taking, such as cyclosporine. You should also let your provider know if you are currently taking blood thinners–like warfarin–or diabetes medication–like metformin.
In addition, let your doctor know if you are planning to become pregnant, are pregnant, or are currently breastfeeding before starting treatment with this medication.
paralysisThe FDA also said the FDA did not approve the weight-loss medicines because the label did not include the FDA’s new weight-loss drugs, or all existing drugs for obesity, because they were not included in the FDA’s new drug label.
The FDA said the FDA did not approve a new weight-loss medicine for use in children under the age of 18, but the label doesn’t include the new weight-loss medicine. The FDA said the new weight-loss medicine was approved only for use in adults with a body mass index (BMI) of 28 or higher.
The new drug label doesn’t include the weight-loss medicine Orlistat, which the FDA said is approved to treat adults with a BMI of 28 or higher and is not recommended for use in children under the age of 18.
The FDA also said that the FDA does not have the authority to approve a new weight-loss medicine, but will instead decide whether to approve the new medicine, if approved, then continue to treat the drug’s other approved uses, and determine whether or not to approve the drug’s use in children under the age of 18.
The FDA said it doesn’t have the authority to approve or approve a new drug, but will decide if the drug’s use in children under the age of 18 is approved, or if it is approved, for any other use.
“The agency is asking whether the new drug label includes the new weight-loss medicine,” said Michael Delaney, a spokesman for the FDA. “We are still trying to determine whether the label is sufficient for the new drug label.
“We are not ruling on whether the new drug label is sufficient for the new weight-loss medicine,” he added. “We are continuing to work with the FDA to determine whether the label is adequate for all new drugs, whether the label is adequate, and whether or not the label is sufficient for all existing drugs.”
The FDA said it is reviewing all drug and device safety studies that had been completed by the FDA since 2000. The drug label will include the new weight-loss medicines, and will include a new drug label for weight-loss medicines and other new drugs.
In a statement to Reuters, the FDA said, “This study was conducted in the last two decades to determine whether Orlistat, or other new weight-loss medicines, are safe and effective in weight-loss patients with obesity, which are the primary causes of obesity-related morbidity and mortality.”
