Who qualifies for Orlistat

Orlistat (Xenical) is a prescription medication designed to aid weight loss. Doctors typically consider it for individuals with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or higher, or a BMI of 27 or higher with co-existing weight-related conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes, or high cholesterol. Our EU-licensed doctors assess your medical history and current health status through our online questionnaire to determine if Orlistat is safe and appropriate for you. They look for specific criteria to ensure the medication benefits you without unnecessary risks. Orlistat is most effective when combined with a reduced-calorie diet and regular exercise.

What Orlistat actually does (and doesn't do)

Orlistat works in your digestive system by preventing the absorption of about one-third of the fat from the food you eat. It does this by blocking an enzyme called lipase, which is responsible for breaking down dietary fats. When lipase is inhibited, undigested fat passes through your system and is eliminated, leading to fewer calories absorbed. This mechanism supports weight loss when combined with dietary changes. Orlistat is not a magic pill; it helps you lose weight gradually and sustainably, usually a 5-10% reduction in body weight over several months, alongside lifestyle adjustments. It does not guarantee rapid weight loss without effort, nor is it a GLP-1 weight management solution like semaglutide.

Side effects and when to stop

Common side effects of Orlistat are usually related to its action on fat absorption and can include oily stools, flatulence with discharge, urgent bowel movements, and increased frequency of bowel movements. These are often mild and temporary, especially if you adhere to a low-fat diet. Rarely, more serious side effects can occur. You should stop taking Orlistat and consult a doctor immediately if you experience severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, dark urine, or yellowing of the skin or eyes. Always discuss any concerns or unusual symptoms with your doctor during your private, auditable chat.
