"Sue for what? Losing too much weight?"
Nah. They'd probably sue because they were embarrassed when they had a BM in public. Uncontrolled BMs are some of the side effects as well as discharged gas. That could effect someone's "self-esteem" if they lost control in public. :)
Don't forget the incontinence. A little unctrollable whizzing does wonders for the self-esteem. Good thing they got ephedra off the market to clear the way for this stuff.
The side effects...
When taken with meals, orlistat blocks the absorption of about one-quarter of any fat consumed. That fat -- the equivalent of about 150 to 200 calories -- is passed out of the body in stools, which can be loose or oily as a result. Other side effects include gas, incontinence and oily spotting. About half of patients in trials experienced such side effects, the company said.
Makes me reeealy want to take it!
