Orlistat 120mg is a prescription-strength weight loss capsule (the same active ingredient as Xenical). It is designed to support weight loss and weight management when used with a reduced-calorie, reduced-fat diet.
Orlistat blocks digestive enzymes called lipases. Lipases normally break down dietary fat so it can be absorbed. When you take Orlistat with a meal that contains fat, around 30% of that fat is not absorbed and passes through the body.
Orlistat 120mg is intended for adults. It may be suitable if:
A clinician will confirm suitability and check for conditions and medicines that may make Orlistat unsafe for you.
Typical directions for use:
Orlistat side effects are strongly linked to how much fat is in your meals. To improve tolerance:
Orlistat can reduce absorption of fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K). Many people are advised to take a daily multivitamin. If you use a multivitamin, take it at least 2 hours after Orlistat or at bedtime.
Common side effects are digestive and happen more often when meals are high in fat. They can include oily or fatty stools, urgent bowel movements, increased wind, and abdominal discomfort. Keeping to a reduced-fat diet usually helps.
Seek medical advice if you have severe or persistent symptoms, signs of an allergic reaction, or you are unsure whether Orlistat is safe with your medicines.
Orlistat is not suitable for everyone. A clinical review is important if you:
Always list your medicines during your consultation so dosing times can be adjusted if needed.
A typical online pharmacy flow looks like this:
Always buy from a regulated UK pharmacy and avoid websites selling prescription medicines without any clinical checks.
How long does Orlistat take to work?
Many people start to notice weight change within the first few weeks when Orlistat is taken consistently with a reduced-calorie, low-fat diet.
Can I take Orlistat if I eat a fat-free meal?
No. If a meal contains no fat, skip that dose because there is nothing for Orlistat to work on.
Is Orlistat the same as Alli?
Alli contains orlistat 60mg (a lower dose). Orlistat 120mg is prescription strength.
Do I need to take vitamins?
You may be advised to take a multivitamin containing vitamins A, D, E, and K. Take it at least 2 hours after Orlistat or at bedtime.
