I wasn't suggesting that it necessarily "doubles" it (nor any other quantification), but yes more effective. It really doesn't "double" the treatment effect to take two Alli. This I know from experience. Whether that is the case with Xenical I don't know and am really not concerned over.

The point I was trying to make is that it is most likely more effective. If it weren't, then why even make it?
