Xenical - Good Product or New Fad?

One of the major drawbacks to Xenical is the cost to benefit ratio. The daily cost of 3 capsules daily will range from $4.00 to $5.00 American and the optimal weight loss between 5 and 10%. If an obese patient weighs 300 pounds and loses 10% of his/her body weight in one year, that would be 30 pounds lost at a cost of $1642.50 or $54.75 per pound. That's if everything operates optimally. If the loss is only average (5%) the cost per pound becomes $110.00 per pound.

What it all comes down to is Orlistat works, but it is costly, has known gastrointestinal side effects, and has been given (through tests) to people for 2 years. There is only empirical knowledge (educated guesses) as to the safety factor with longer term usage. Useage with the assistance of a medical practitioner is highly recommended by the establishment. That seems to be very good advice at this point.
