About Orlistat 120mg
Orlistat is a prescription medicine that supports weight loss by reducing the amount of fat absorbed from food. It works in the digestive system by blocking enzymes called lipases, allowing around one-third of dietary fat to pass through the body instead of being absorbed. When combined with a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and regular physical activity, Orlistat can help eligible adults lose weight and improve long-term weight management.

Yes. Lower-fat meals improve results and reduce digestive side effects.
High-fat meals can increase oily stools, urgency and abdominal discomfort.
No. Only take a capsule with a main meal that contains fat.

This happens because unabsorbed fat leaves the body through the bowel.

Your prescriber may recommend one because Orlistat can reduce absorption of vitamins A, D, E and K.

If Orlistat is unsuitable or ineffective, your prescriber can discuss whether another licensed treatment is appropriate.
Possibly, but your medicines may need review as weight loss can affect blood glucose levels.
Your progress should be reviewed regularly. Treatment may be stopped if it is not effective.
Tell your prescriber if you take warfarin, levothyroxine, ciclosporin, epilepsy medicines or any regular medication.
Yes. Capsules do not require refrigeration and are easy to carry when travelling.
