Long-Term Systemic Exposure of Orlistat, a Lipase Inhibitor, and Its Metabolites in Obese Patients

Orlistat, a lipase inhibitor, acts locally in the gastrointestinal tract; its systemic exposure is not required for its efficacy. However, knowledge of the extent of its systemic exposure is important for its safe use in obese patients, the intended target population. Pharmacokinetic screening in ob...

description Orlistat, a lipase inhibitor, acts locally in the gastrointestinal tract; its systemic exposure is not required for its efficacy. However, knowledge of the extent of its systemic exposure is important for its safe use in obese patients, the intended target population. Pharmacokinetic screening in obese patients was carried out by monitoring plasma concentrations of unchanged orlistat and its metabolites in five key double‐blind, placebo‐controlled phase II/III studies. Results of these studies involving the monitoring of plasma samples indicate that detection of intact orlistat in plasma was sporadic, and measurable concentrations were low (
