Who qualifies for Orlistat

Orlistat is a prescription medication. The doctor looks for specific criteria 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 weight-related conditions like high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol. You must be committed to making lifestyle changes, including a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity. Contraindications include chronic malabsorption syndrome, cholestasis, pregnancy, and breastfeeding. The EU-licensed doctor will review your full medical history to ensure your safety.

What Orlistat actually does (and doesn't do)

Orlistat works by blocking about one-third of the fat you eat from being absorbed in your gut. This unabsorbed fat is then passed out of your body in your stools. It helps you lose weight when combined with a low-fat, reduced-calorie diet and regular exercise. Orlistat is not a magic pill; it supports weight loss efforts but requires consistent dietary changes. Realistic expectations are important: studies show Orlistat can lead to a 5-10% reduction in body weight over 6 to 12 months. It doesn't target appetite or metabolism directly, only fat absorption.

Side effects and when to stop

Common side effects of Orlistat are related to its mechanism of action and include oily or fatty stools, increased bowel movements, gas with oily discharge, and stomach pain. These effects are often reduced by adhering to a low-fat diet. Orlistat can also interfere with the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K), so your doctor may recommend a multivitamin. Serious side effects are rare but include liver problems. Stop taking Orlistat and contact a doctor immediately if you experience persistent nausea, vomiting, dark urine, or yellowing of the skin or eyes. Always follow your doctor's advice on when to stop treatment.
