Obesity Management
• Dr . Mouna Dakar
Orlistat (Xenical, Alli)
Type: lipase inhibitor
Mechanism of action: inhibits the breakdown of triglycerides into absorbable free fatty acids by
lipase enzymes in the stomach and pancreas, resulting in less fat being absorbed
Year of approval: 1999 (Xenical – prescription 120 mg TID), 2007 (Alli – OTC 60 mg)
FDA approved indication: as an adjunct to a reduced-calorie and low-fat diet for weight loss or to
lower the risk of regaining weight after prior weight loss
Efficacy: 2.9 kg mean weight loss (Xenical) beyond that achieved by placebo at one year (metaanalysis of 15 trials; Ann Intern Med 2005;142:532-46)
Adverse effects: significant diarrhea, fecal incontinence, oily spotting, flatulence, bloating,
dyspepsia (all can be reduced with avoidance of fat-rich foods), reduced absorption of fat-soluble
vitamins, serious liver injury (rare)
Contraindications: malabsorption, cholestasis, impaired liver function, pancreatic disease,
pregnancy (added in 2012)
Orlistat is a gastrointestinal lipase inhibitor that
induces weight loss by inhibiting nutrient
absorption.
it may reduce the absorption of some fat-soluble
vitamins (A, D, E, K) and beta-carotene.
Administer a daily oral multivitamin supplement
containing fat-soluble vitamins 2 hours before
meals or 1 hour after meals.
Lorcaserin (Belviq)

proopiomelanocortin (POMC) production, which promotes satiety

FDA approved indication: treatment of obesity for adults with BMI ≥ 30 or ≥ 27 in the presence
of other risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes or hyperlipidemia
Efficacy: 3.6 kg mean weight loss beyond that achieved by placebo (5.8 kg vs. 2.2 kg) at one year
(Phase 3 RCT; N Engl J Med 2010; 363:245-256)

and exercise, for BMI ≥ 30 or ≥ 27, in the presence of other risk factors such as hypertension,
diabetes or hyperlipidemia

year (Phase 3 RCT; Obesity (2012); 20 2, 330–342)
