L'orlistat (Xenical). Ce médicament a pour effet d'entraver l'enzyme responsable de l'absorption des graisses dans le tube digestif. Il empêche ainsi l'absorption d'environ 30 % des graisses alimentaires (triglycérides), ce qui équivaut à une réduction calorique de 150 à 200 calories/jour pour un apport journalier de 1800 calories.
