Q

Orlistat , lorcaserin , phentermine/topiramate

A

Orlistat- inhibits pancreatic lipase, thereby reducing dietary fat absorption
SE: loose stools, abd cramps, nausea

Lorcaserin- regulates appetite and increase the feeling of fullness after eating, so less food is eaten (for seizures and migraines)

Phentermine/topiramate- extended release is a combination medication
