About
Description
The codelist aims to identify orlistat.
Methodology
Context
This codelist has been created specifically for use in the GLP-1 for weight management OpenSAFELY study.
Inclusion/exclusion criteria
Includes all orlistat products Exclude all products that don't contain orlistat
Additional information
The codelist was initially created as a pseudo BNF codelist by searching for "orlistat" . The codelist was then converted to dmd so that it can be used in OpenSAFELY.
Codelist updated to include VTM as per Github discussion

Codelists are developed by a broad community of users for individual study purposes, which may or may not meet the needs of other studies. They should not be thought of as universal definitions of a particular condition.
We don't offer any guarantees about what they do or don't identify. Users should carefully check that any codelist meets their needs, and seek clinical input where appropriate.
* dm+d codelists can be downloaded with codes mapped to changed VMPs included - this is the default for an OpenSAFELY project. See the documentation on keeping codelists up to date for more details.
