Who qualifies for Orlistat

Orlistat is for adults looking to manage their weight. When reviewing your case, the doctor looks for specific criteria:

• Your Body Mass Index (BMI) is 30 or higher.
• Your BMI is 27 or higher, and you have weight-related health conditions (e.g., high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol).
• You are committed to a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity.

Orlistat is not suitable for everyone. The doctor will assess if you have any contraindications, such as chronic malabsorption syndrome, cholestasis, or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. The doctor makes the final decision on whether Orlistat is appropriate for your health.

What Orlistat actually does (and doesn't do)

Orlistat works by blocking about 30% of the fat you eat from being absorbed by your body. It acts in your gut, preventing enzymes from breaking down dietary fats. These undigested fats are then eliminated from your body in your stool.

It's important to understand that Orlistat is a tool to support weight loss, not a standalone solution. It works best when combined with a healthy, reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and regular physical activity. You won't see results overnight; consistent use and lifestyle changes are key to achieving and maintaining weight loss. Orlistat does not suppress appetite or burn existing fat stores.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Orlistat can cause side effects. These are typically related to its mechanism of action and are often mild, especially if you stick to a lower-fat diet. Common side effects include:

• Oily spotting or discharge from the rectum.
• Gas with oily discharge.
• Urgent bowel movements.
• Loose, oily stools.
• Increased number of bowel movements.

These side effects usually improve as your body adjusts to the medication and you maintain a lower-fat diet. If you experience severe abdominal pain, dark urine, yellowing of the skin or eyes (jaundice), or persistent itching, stop taking Orlistat immediately and seek medical attention. Always discuss any concerns or severe side effects with your doctor.
