Who qualifies for Orlistat

Orlistat is a prescription medication used to aid weight loss. Doctors typically prescribe it for individuals with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or higher, or a BMI of 27 or higher with co-existing conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes, or high cholesterol. Our EU-licensed doctors assess your full medical history, current health status, and BMI to determine if Orlistat is an appropriate and safe treatment for you. They look for cases where Orlistat can effectively support your weight management journey alongside dietary changes and exercise.

What Orlistat actually does (and doesn't do)

Orlistat works by attaching to enzymes in your digestive system called lipases. These lipases break down dietary fat, but Orlistat blocks their action, preventing about 30% of the fat you eat from being absorbed. This unabsorbed fat is then passed out of your body. It's crucial to understand that Orlistat is not a standalone solution for weight loss; it is most effective when combined with a reduced-calorie, low-fat diet and regular physical activity. Orlistat helps enhance the effects of these lifestyle changes, supporting gradual and sustainable weight loss over time, typically showing results within weeks to months.

Side effects and when to stop

Because Orlistat works in your digestive system, most common side effects are gastrointestinal. These can include oily or fatty stools, increased bowel movements, an urgent need to use the bathroom, gas with oily discharge, and abdominal discomfort. These effects are often temporary and can be managed by adhering to a low-fat diet. It's important to stop taking Orlistat and consult a doctor if you experience severe abdominal pain, dark urine, yellowing of the skin or eyes (jaundice), or severe allergic reactions. Always follow your prescribing doctor's advice on when to stop or adjust your treatment.
