Who qualifies for Orlistat

Our EU-licensed doctors individually review each case for suitability. When considering an Orlistat prescription, the doctor looks for specific criteria:

• BMI: Orlistat is typically prescribed for individuals with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or higher. It may also be considered for those with a BMI of 27 or higher who have weight-related health conditions such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol.
• Medical History: The doctor assesses your complete medical history, including any pre-existing conditions, allergies, or other medications you are currently taking.
• Contraindications: Orlistat is not suitable for everyone. Contraindications include chronic malabsorption syndrome, cholestasis, or pregnancy and breastfeeding. The doctor ensures there are no reasons why Orlistat would be unsafe for you.
• Commitment to Lifestyle Changes: Orlistat is most effective when combined with a reduced-calorie, low-fat diet and regular physical activity. The doctor will consider your commitment to these lifestyle modifications.

The doctor remains the gatekeeper, ensuring your safety and the appropriateness of the treatment.

What Orlistat actually does (and doesn't do)

Orlistat works by targeting fat in your digestive system. It's a lipase inhibitor, meaning it blocks the enzymes (lipases) that break down dietary fat. By doing this, about 30% of the fat you eat isn't absorbed by your body and is instead passed out in your stools. This reduction in calorie intake from fat can lead to weight loss when combined with a healthy diet and exercise.

What it does: Helps you lose weight by reducing fat absorption. It supports your weight loss journey when paired with lifestyle changes.

What it doesn't do: Orlistat is not a magic bullet or a quick fix. It won't make you lose weight without effort, nor does it guarantee specific results like '10 kg in a month.' It's a tool to assist, not replace, a balanced diet and active lifestyle. It also doesn't prevent the absorption of carbohydrates or protein.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Orlistat can cause side effects. Most common side effects are related to its mechanism of action on fat absorption and tend to be mild and temporary, especially with a low-fat diet.

• Common side effects: Oily spotting, flatulence with discharge, urgent bowel movements, fatty or oily stools, increased frequency of bowel movements. These are often signs that you've consumed too much fat in a meal.
• Less common side effects: Abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea.
• When to stop and seek medical advice: While rare, more serious side effects can occur. Contact your doctor immediately if you experience persistent or severe abdominal pain, yellowing of the skin or eyes (jaundice), dark urine, itching, or loss of appetite. These could be signs of liver problems. Always follow your doctor's advice regarding treatment duration and when to discontinue the medication.

Medical honesty builds trust. Understanding potential side effects helps you make informed decisions and reduces the likelihood of unexpected issues.
