Orlistat is a compound frequently searched online. Hi-Doctor focuses today on three areas — hair growth, weight management and sexual health — and Orlistat is outside that scope. Our doctors cannot review it.

Will Hi-Doctor add Orlistat in the future?

We expand the catalogue as new specialists join and as country-level regulation allows it. You can leave your email so we notify you if Orlistat comes onto the platform.

What can I do in the meantime?

If your question fits one of our three areas (hair growth, weight management, sexual health), a licensed doctor reviews it in under 24 h for €25. If not, we recommend seeing an in-person specialist with experience in the specific indication.

Does Hi-Doctor recommend buying Orlistat online?

No. Buying medication online without a valid prescription carries counterfeiting and toxicity risks. Any product requiring a prescription must come from a licensed pharmacy with a prescription issued by a licensed doctor.

Can I get a consultation for Orlistat from Madrid?

Yes. Hi-Doctor runs 100 % online across the EU, so if you live in Madrid you can fill in the questionnaire and receive the medical review without travelling. The electronic prescription issued by the licensed doctor is valid in any EU pharmacy under Directive 2011/24/EU; in Spain it is dispensed directly from the prescription QR.

Who is a candidate for a medical weight-management programme?

Adults with BMI ≥ 30, or ≥ 27 with comorbidities (hypertension, type-2 diabetes, dyslipidaemia). The doctor reviews your history, current medication and goals before proposing any treatment. It is not a cosmetic programme.

What is the private electronic prescription and why is it valid across the EU?

The private electronic prescription (Receta Médica Privada Electrónica) is issued by a licensed doctor in Spain. It is a PDF carrying every field required by EU Directive 2011/24/EU (patient, prescriber with country of registration, active ingredient, dose), which makes it legally recognised across all 27 EU member states. In Spanish pharmacies it is dispensed from the QR; outside Spain, the pharmacist dispenses the locally marketed equivalent of the same active ingredient.

How does Hi-Doctor work step by step?

1) Fill in an online medical questionnaire in about 4 minutes. 2) An EU-licensed doctor reviews your case and replies in under 24 h through the private chat in your account. 3) If eligible, the doctor issues an electronic prescription. 4) You collect it at any EU pharmacy. The consultation costs €25 and, if the doctor decides it is not safe to prescribe, the full amount is refunded.

How much does it cost and what does the price include?

The medical consultation costs €25 and includes a licensed doctor's review of your case and, if approved, the electronic prescription. If the doctor decides the treatment is not appropriate, the €25 is refunded. The medication price is separate and paid at the pharmacy; it varies by country, pharmacy and product across the EU. Because your electronic prescription is valid at any EU pharmacy, you can compare and choose where to fill it.

Überblick

Was ist Orlistat?

Wirkstoff: Orlistat · Dosierungen: 120 mg with each main meal

Orlistat is a lipase inhibitor: it blocks the intestinal enzyme that digests fat, reducing the absorption of part of the fat you eat. Unlike GLP-1s, it does not act on appetite — its effect depends on keeping an appropriate diet while taking it.

It's a valid alternative for people who cannot or do not want injectables, although average weight loss is usually lower. A licensed doctor proposes the approach that best fits your clinical history.

So wirkt es im Körper

Orlistat blocks intestinal lipase, so part of the dietary fat passes through unabsorbed. Because it works locally in the gut rather than on hunger signals, results depend on a suitable, lower-fat diet.

Wie es hilft

Three ways it supports weight loss.

No injections

A capsule taken with meals — the non-injectable route in this category.

Local, not systemic

Acts in the gut rather than on the whole body's hormone signalling.

Adjunct to diet

Reinforces a structured nutrition plan; adjusting fat intake also eases side effects.

Was Sie erwartet

How to take it.

One capsule with each main meal that contains fat. Your doctor explains the routine and the vitamin supplementation that goes with it.

Days 1–7 · Adjust meals towards lower fat
Weeks 2–8 · Consistent use with each main meal
Month 3 · Response reviewed by your doctor
Ongoing · A, D, E, K multivitamin taken separately, as advised

Ihr Behandlungsplan ist individuell

Diese Schritte sind nur Richtwerte. Ihr Arzt passt den Plan daran an, wie Sie ansprechen und das Medikament vertragen — und Sie können ihm jederzeit schreiben.

Sicherheit zuerst

Sicherheit, vollständig.

Orlistat ist ein wirksames Medikament — und wie jedes Medikament birgt es Risiken. Ihr Arzt prüft all dies vor der Verschreibung. Hier ist das ehrliche Bild, nicht nur Beruhigung.

Mostly gastrointestinal: oily stools, bowel urgency and flatulence — especially after fatty meals. Adjusting the diet reduces symptoms.

Nicht geeignet, wenn Sie

Are pregnant or breastfeeding
Have a chronic malabsorption syndrome or cholestasis
Expect it to work without dietary changes

The slow dose increase made it manageable. The nausea early on faded, just like my doctor said.

Thomas K.

6 months in treatment

Being able to message the doctor when I had questions about dosing made me feel looked after.

Nadia V.

4 months in treatment

Honest advice — they told me it only works alongside changes to how I eat. That built trust.
