Xenical Given Recommendation By UK Royal Pharmaceutical Society

good evidence for the efficacy of Orlistat - RPS

The weight loss drug Xenical has recently received the thumbs up from the Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain following an extensive review of a whole array of diet products that can be found in health shops in the UK.

The review looked at selection of over the counter products such as Adios, Biosynergy, Hoodia Gordonii, and Alli, (a low dose version of orlistat the active ingredient of Xenical). At Ukmedix News we wouldn’t have even bothered to carry out the review because none of the products except orlistat have any credible clinical evidence to back up their diet claims.
For example something which needs to use a name like Adios can hardly be taken seriously. The same goes for LIPObind, (er liposuction?) Slim Nite (umm it will make you lose weight when you are asleep??) and Biosynergy (Star Trek Weight Loss??perrlease!)

A bit of advice from Ukmedix News which will probably go a long way in helping you to lose weight is to stay away from any product which has a stupidly suggestive name or a name which implies that you don’t have to do anything to lose weight. The next bit of advice is to stay away from anything which hasn’t been given to you by a doctor and no self respecting doctor would ever recommend a patient to take Slim Nite, LIPObind or Biosynergy.

Dr Colin Cable from the Royal Pharmaceutical Society said that there was “good evidence for the efficacy of Orlistat” in helping you to lose weight and cautioned that it shouldn’t be thought of as the only ingredient of a weight loss program. He said that the others had “no published randomised clinical trials” to prove that they actually worked.

Probably the most effective tool you have to help you lose weight is your brain! So use it!
