Abstract
The invention involves a method of weight control in which polymers of unsaturated carboxylic acid derivatives are orally administered to interfere with assimilation of fat. Polymers which inhibit action of pancreatic lipase, especially cationic polymers such as dialkylaminoalkyl imides of alkene/maleic anhydride copolymers, are particularly useful.
