Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advise.
Orlistat 8 hourly with meal is the drug for obesity. However keep in mind it causes side effects like steatorrhea, abdominal pain, fluid motions, flatulence, and vitamin deficiency. So use it only if benefits over weights risk of side effects in your case.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Hiren Hirpara
