You may already be familiar with, a popular brand-name prescription drug promoted for weight loss and as a appetite suppressant. But in more serious news for patients and doctors, some medical professionals are warning consumers to avoid or limit the sale of prescription weight-loss pills.
The Food and Drug Administration has advised patients to avoid prescription weight-loss pills as they contain prescription-strength versions of the prescription-only weight-loss medicationZepbound or other Xenical or Alli, the FDA has warned, as they are being sold in countries including Canada, the U. S. and Europe.
Zepbound or Xenical is the generic version of the brand-name drugEsomeprazole, which is used to treat ulcers, stomach problems and other gastrointestinal disorders.
The FDA also has issued warnings about the potentially dangerous ingredient inOrlistat sold inPositoriesis, a weight-loss drug developed byGlaxoSmithKline.
Orlistat has been approved for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, as it blocks about half of the pancreatic beta-cell beta-cell secretion. But some doctors are worried that the medication may lead to pancreatic inflammation.
Orlistat was first approved by the Food and Drug Administration in 1999 for the treatment of obesity. But in 2010, the agency suspended the approval of Orlistat due to concerns about its safety and effectiveness.
In a, the FDA had warning labels on several weight-loss drugs on the label of Xenical, and warnings about Xenical containing prescription-only versions of the drug.
The warnings also included that Orlistat was not suitable for patients taking certain medications, such as those used for cancer, as it contained a dangerous substance called hydroxyzine. Also, the safety of Orlistat has not been established in clinical studies.
The FDA had also issued a warning about the medication, which includes warnings about potential side effects, including headaches, stomach ache and muscle pain.
The FDA has also warned that the Xenical drug may cause liver problems, especially in patients with pre-existing liver disease. The FDA also advised patients to monitor their liver enzymes while taking the medication, as some liver enzymes may be elevated.
The warning on Orlistat also included that patients taking the medication for stomach ulcers should stop taking Orlistat immediately and consult their doctors if they experience any of the symptoms of stomach bleeding, including stomach cramps.
Orlistat has been prescribed off-label for the treatment of obesity and is also sometimes sold under the brand names Alli and Alli by prescription drug companies. Alli was first approved by the FDA in 1997 for the treatment of high blood pressure, and Alli was approved by the U. FDA in 1999 for the treatment of type 2 diabetes.
GlaxoSmithKline, which is developing, said it would not comment on the FDA's warnings related to Xenical.
"These products are not FDA-approved," said Dr. Jorge Pujalado, director of the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research in the FDA's Center for Medical Products. "They're sold by different companies."
Last year, the FDA warned that Orlistat was not a safe and effective weight-loss medication for patients with type 2 diabetes, or those taking medications to help manage their diabetes.
The FDA has also issued warnings about the drug's potential side effects, including headaches and stomach ache. Headaches can occur during or after taking Orlistat. They can also be a symptom of liver problems.
The company said that it has not found any cases of liver damage in patients taking the drug, but it has stopped selling Xenical to doctors and patients. The FDA has also not stopped selling the drug to patients since 2011.
Orlistat is sold in capsule form and may be taken with or without food.
Patients who take Orlistat to help manage their condition should take the capsule whole and do not crush or chew it, or eat it whole.
But patients must follow the dosage recommendations provided by their doctor and must not take more than the recommended amount of medication a day. Patients who experience serious side effects, including severe stomach pain or an allergic reaction, must stop taking the medication and consult a doctor immediately.
Orlistat is only available in capsule form. The capsule contains about 60 mg of the drug.
