I believe it's an OTC version of Zenecal. But I don't think it's available yet.

I know someone who took Xenecal (sp??) and she said it causes 'ANAL LEEKAGE' - yikes!

Re: Whats the new diet drug that has just been made over the counter?

I used the Rx version (Xenical) - my doctor prescribed it when I was low-carbing, exercising and the scale just wasn't moving down. I think it worked a little, but since I wasn't eating a lot of fat anyway, there wasn't much fat for it to block the absorption of. I will say that my stomach was really upset while I was taking it though.

ETA: I promised that 'my stomach was really upset' is NOT code for 'anal leakage.' I was lucky not to suffer THAT side effect

I would stay away from any diet drug. Unless your doctor prescribes it and is monitoring you, these drugs usually have sides affects that can cause damage. Most diet drugs are not safe. You are better off with dieting and exercise.
