Who qualifies for Orlistat
Orlistat is a prescription medication, and eligibility is determined by a licensed doctor. Doctors look for specific criteria to ensure safe and effective treatment. Typically, Orlistat is considered for individuals with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or higher, or a BMI of 27 or higher with co-existing weight-related health conditions such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol. The doctor will review your full medical history and current health status to determine if Orlistat is suitable for you and if there are any contraindications.
What Orlistat actually does (and doesn't do)
Orlistat works by reducing the amount of dietary fat your body absorbs from meals. It blocks about 30% of the fat you eat from being digested, which means fewer calories are absorbed. This mechanism aids weight loss when combined with a reduced-calorie diet and regular exercise. It's not a magic pill; Orlistat supports your weight loss efforts by reducing fat absorption, but consistent lifestyle changes are crucial for long-term success. Expect gradual weight loss over several months, typically 5-10% of your initial body weight within 6-12 months.

Side effects and when to stop
As with all medications, Orlistat can cause side effects. These are often related to its mechanism of action. Common side effects include oily or fatty stools, increased bowel movements, gas with oily spotting, and urgent bowel movements. These are usually mild and can be managed by adhering to a low-fat diet. If you experience severe abdominal pain, persistent nausea, vomiting, yellowing of the skin or eyes (jaundice), or dark urine, stop taking Orlistat immediately and seek urgent medical attention. Always follow your doctor's instructions and report any concerning side effects.
