How it works — get your Orlistat prescription in 4 steps

  1. Fill the online medical questionnaire (2–3 minutes) and pay the consultation fee of €25 every 28 days or €35 one-off. Provide your health details securely within the Hi-Doctor app.
  2. A licensed EU doctor reviews your case in private. An EU-licensed doctor assesses your information carefully. If the doctor determines the treatment is NOT appropriate for you, your payment is refunded automatically — no risk.
  3. If approved, you receive a valid electronic prescription (PDF file) in your Hi-Doctor account and by email within 24 hours. This is Spain's official digital private prescription standard.
  4. Print the PDF or show it on your phone — present it at any pharmacy in the EU to collect Orlistat. Your prescription is valid at pharmacies in France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, Austria, Ireland, and any other EU country.

Who qualifies for Orlistat

When a Hi-Doctor EU-licensed physician reviews your case, they determine if Orlistat is right for you. Orlistat (Xenical) is a prescription-only medication for weight management. 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, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol. The doctor assesses your full medical history, current medications, and any contraindications to ensure Orlistat is a safe and effective option.

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. It does this by inhibiting an enzyme called lipase, which is responsible for breaking down dietary fats. The unabsorbed fat then exits your body through bowel movements. This mechanism helps reduce calorie intake from fat, leading to weight loss when combined with a reduced-calorie diet and regular exercise. Orlistat is not a 'magic pill'; it supports weight loss as part of a comprehensive lifestyle change. Expect gradual, realistic weight loss over several months, not sudden dramatic results. It's a tool to help you achieve your weight management goals, not a standalone solution.

Side effects and when to stop

As Orlistat prevents fat absorption, some common side effects are related to the unabsorbed fat. These may include oily or fatty stools, increased frequency of bowel movements, fecal urgency, gas with oily discharge, and abdominal discomfort. These side effects are usually mild and often improve as your body adjusts or if you reduce your dietary fat intake. It's important to contact your doctor if you experience severe abdominal pain, dark urine, or yellowing of the skin or eyes, as these could indicate more serious issues. Always discuss any concerns with your Hi-Doctor physician through your private, RGPD-compliant chat.
