Which statement by a patient about to begin taking orlistat [Xenical] for weight loss therapy indicates an understanding of this drug's actions?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Because orlistat reduces fat absorption, stools often are fatty or oily, and fecal incontinence can occur. Bulk-forming laxatives can help with this side effect. For orlistat to be effective, patients still need to adopt a reduced-calorie diet with a 30% fat content. Patients should take fat-soluble vitamin supplements to replace those lost in stools. Taking the drug more often does not increase weight loss.
