Did you guys read this? Federal health advisers have voted to recommend over-the-counter sales of a weight-loss pill now sold only with a prescription. GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Healthcare is hoping before the year is out, consumers will be able to buy the fat-blocking pill without a doctor's prescription. It would be the first over-the-counter diet drug to win approval from the Food & Drug Administration. The drug company still needs final FDA approval before it can sell an over-the-counter version of orlistat, a diet pill already marketed in prescription form as Xenical. The FDA usually follows the recommendations of its advisory panel. I tried this during my years of fad diets, pills and exercise programs. Not to be graphic but it makes the fat come out your butt in a crisco consistancy. Orance liquid poop. It also causes you to have uncontrollable bowel movements. Well of course if you don't eat anything then it's fine. I can't believe they are letting this one loose on the american public but hey the cost with therefor come down.

I saw this on the news this morning, and they were VERY CLEAR, that if you don't cut down on the fatty foods you eat, you are very likely to have an embarrassing moment.... A "Shart" as it was put in "Along Came Polly"! LOL!!

This is just what teenage girls with eating disorders need. This is a "what were they thinking" moment. I thought you were only supposed to be on this medication for a limited amount of time?
