How it works — get your Orlistat prescription in 4 steps

4. Pick up your medication at any EU pharmacy: Your electronic prescription is valid across the entire European Union.

Who qualifies for Orlistat

Our EU-licensed doctors look for specific criteria to ensure Orlistat is safe and effective for you. Orlistat is typically prescribed for adults with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or higher. You might also qualify if your BMI is 27 or higher and you have weight-related health conditions such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol. The doctor assesses your full medical history, current medications, and any contraindications to ensure Orlistat is the right choice for your health goals.

What Orlistat actually does (and doesn't do)

Orlistat works in your digestive system by blocking about one-third of the fat you eat from being absorbed. Instead, this undigested fat is passed out of your body in your stool. This mechanism helps reduce your overall calorie intake and promotes weight loss when combined with a reduced-calorie, low-fat diet and regular physical activity. Orlistat is not a magic pill; it supports your weight loss journey by making dietary changes more effective. Realistic expectations are key: weight loss is gradual and requires consistent effort with diet and exercise.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Orlistat can cause side effects, most of which are gastrointestinal and related to its mechanism of action. These commonly include oily or fatty stools, increased bowel movements, fecal urgency, gas with oily discharge, and abdominal discomfort. These side effects are often less severe if you stick to a low-fat diet. If you experience severe abdominal pain, persistent nausea or vomiting, dark urine, or yellowing of the skin or eyes, stop taking Orlistat and consult a doctor immediately, as these could be signs of a more serious issue.
