Who qualifies for Orlistat
Our EU-licensed doctors review each case individually to determine if Orlistat is an appropriate treatment for you. Typically, Orlistat is considered for adults with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or higher, or a BMI of 27 or higher with co-existing weight-related conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes, or high cholesterol. The doctor will assess your full medical history, current medications, and any contraindications to ensure your safety and the effectiveness of the treatment. It's crucial that you provide accurate and complete information in your medical questionnaire for a thorough review.
What Orlistat actually does (and doesn't do)
Orlistat, often known by its brand name Xenical, works by targeting dietary fat in your digestive system. It contains an active ingredient that blocks about a third of the fat you eat from being absorbed. This unabsorbed fat is then passed out of your body naturally. Orlistat is an aid to weight loss; it is not a standalone solution. It is most effective when combined with a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and regular physical activity. You should expect gradual weight loss over several months, not rapid results. Orlistat helps you manage fat intake, but it doesn't reduce calorie absorption from carbohydrates or protein, nor does it address underlying eating habits without lifestyle changes.
Side effects and when to stop
Like all medications, Orlistat can cause side effects. The most common side effects are related to its mechanism of action and include oily stools, flatulence with discharge, fecal urgency, and oily spotting in your underwear. These effects are often more noticeable if you consume meals high in fat. Less common but more serious side effects can include liver problems, kidney stones, or allergic reactions. You should stop taking Orlistat and consult a doctor immediately if you experience severe abdominal pain, dark urine, yellowing of the skin or eyes, or severe itching. Always follow your doctor's instructions and never exceed the prescribed dosage. If side effects are persistent or severe, or if you are not seeing the expected benefits, discuss this with your doctor through your private Hi-Doctor chat.
