    Glossary Orlistat

    medication that inhibits fat absorption to aid weight loss

    Orlistat, also known by brand names such as Xenical and Alli, is a medication used to aid weight loss by inhibiting the absorption of dietary fats in the intestines. It works by blocking the enzyme lipase, which is necessary for the breakdown of fats, thereby reducing calorie intake and promoting weight loss.
