There were no approved OTC ingredients, although some dietary supplements included ephedra until it was banned in 2004 . In 2007, orlistat was approved (brand name alli). This inhibits fat absorption resulting in frequent bowel movements, loose oily stools, and flatulence. A low-fat diet is recommended with this.
