Abstract
Over the past years, the focus has been growing on the prevention and treatment of obesity. Obesity has long been considered not just as excess body fat but as a chronic relapsing disease, the result of energy disbalance, which develops with an increase in food intake and reduced energy expenditure and is closely associated with a number of serious complications. Orlistat (Xenical), a peripherally acting drug without systemic effects [11, 24, 27], has been widely used in pharmacological treatment of obesity. Xenical is the most well-studied medication for weight loss. More than 30,000 patients with obesity were involved in clinical trials, of which over 2,500 patients had type 2 diabetes. Till today, the drug remains a breakthrough in the treatment of overweight/obesity.
