Who qualifies for Orlistat

Orlistat is a prescription-only medication. Doctors assess several factors to determine if it's appropriate for you. Generally, Orlistat is considered for adults with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or higher, or a BMI of 27 or higher with additional weight-related health conditions such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol. The doctor looks for a commitment to lifestyle changes, as Orlistat works best when combined with a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and regular physical activity. Contraindications, such as chronic malabsorption syndrome or cholestasis, will also be carefully considered during your online consultation.

What Orlistat actually does (and doesn't do)

Orlistat works by inhibiting lipase, an enzyme in your gut that breaks down dietary fats. By blocking lipase, Orlistat prevents about 25-30% of the fat you eat from being absorbed by your body. This unabsorbed fat is then passed out of your system. This mechanism helps reduce your calorie intake, supporting weight loss when used alongside a healthy diet. Orlistat is not a magic pill; it helps you lose more weight than diet and exercise alone, typically 5-10% of your initial body weight over 6-12 months. It's a tool to support your weight management journey, not a substitute for dietary and lifestyle changes.

Side effects and when to stop

As Orlistat works by preventing fat absorption, most side effects are gastrointestinal. These can include oily or fatty stools, increased bowel movements, urgent need to go to the bathroom, gas with oily discharge, and abdominal discomfort. These are generally mild and tend to decrease as your body adjusts and you adhere to a lower-fat diet. If you experience severe abdominal pain, persistent nausea or vomiting, dark urine, or yellowing of the skin or eyes (signs of liver problems), stop taking Orlistat immediately and seek medical attention. Always discuss any concerning side effects with your consulting doctor.
