The FDA has finally approved orlistat, better known by its prescription name brand xenical, to become available over the counter (OTC) this Friday, 6/15. The OTC version will be called alli.Since the main side effects are loose, oily stools (steatorrhea), increased flatulence, and decreased absorption of fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K, and beta-carotene), I wonder if sales of Depends and multivitamins will increase.
