Who qualifies for Orlistat

Orlistat is a medication for weight management, and doctors prescribe it based on specific criteria. Typically, the doctor looks for a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or higher, or a BMI of 27 or higher if you also have weight-related health conditions such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol. The doctor will assess your full medical history, current medications, and any pre-existing conditions to determine if Orlistat is safe and appropriate for you. This individual review ensures your treatment plan is tailored to your health needs.

What Orlistat actually does (and doesn't do)

Orlistat works by reducing the amount of dietary fat your body absorbs. Specifically, it blocks about one-third of the fat you eat from being digested. This unabsorbed fat is then passed out of your body. Orlistat is not an appetite suppressant; it acts directly in your digestive system. It is most effective when combined with a reduced-calorie, low-fat diet and increased physical activity. You should expect gradual, steady weight loss over several months, not rapid results. Orlistat supports your weight loss journey by making your dietary efforts more effective.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Orlistat can cause side effects. The most common ones are related to its mechanism of action: oily stools, increased bowel movements, gas with oily discharge, and fecal urgency. These effects are often more noticeable if your diet is high in fat, and they typically lessen as you adjust your eating habits. It's important to contact your doctor if you experience severe abdominal pain, persistent nausea or vomiting, dark urine, or yellowing of your skin or eyes (jaundice). These could be signs of more serious issues, and your doctor will advise if you should stop the medication.
