More serious side effects include:
If you experience any of these side effects, seek medical attention immediately. These are symptoms of a serious adverse reaction–or allergic reaction–to this medication and require treatment right away.
Orlistat has been shown to affect the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins (vitamin A, D, E and K). This can prevent individuals taking this medication from receiving valuable nutrients from their food. Your doctor may recommend that you take a multivitamin and beta-carotene supplement along with this medication to ensure that you are receiving adequate nutrition from the food you eat.
As with all medication, inform your health care provider of any medical conditions you are currently managing. Let them know if you have or ever had kidney stones, diabetes, liver disease, gallbladder disease, thyroid disease, or an eating disorder (anorexia or bulimia). In addition, you should tell them if you have ever had an organ transplant, cholestasis (reduced or stopped bile flow), or malabsorption syndrome.
Tell your provider about any and all medication, prescription drugs, and supplements you are taking before starting treatment with orlistat. Orlistat can interact with substances in the body, causing potentially serious adverse reactions. Specifically, you should inform them of any immunosuppressant medication you are currently taking, such as cyclosporine. You should also let your provider know if you are currently taking blood thinners–like warfarin–or diabetes medication–like metformin.
In addition, let your doctor know if you are planning to become pregnant, are pregnant, or are currently breastfeeding before starting treatment with this medication.

Orlistat is a lipase inhibitor. Lipases are gut enzymes that break down fat from food, enabling the gut to transport fat into the body to be burnt for energy or stored in our fat cells for later use.
Orlistat blocks lipases, preventing some of the dietary fat from our meals from being digested. This leads to fewer calories being absorbed, which can support weight loss.
Orlistat is a prescription medication produced by two pharmaceutical companies in the UK:
However, it’s recommended that you consult with a healthcare professional or a pharmacist before purchasing weight-loss pills.
Orlistat (Xenical/Alli) has been to lead to a weight loss of 4% of body weight after three months and around 8% after one year. It’s generally well-tolerated, with fewer than 10% of people stopping the medication due to adverse effects.
However, research has shown that other weight-loss medications lead to significantly more weight loss, with orlistat often performing worse than other medications, such as liraglutide (Saxenda).
In a comparing orlistat with four other weight-loss medications, including liraglutide, orlistat was found to be the least likely to lead to more than 5% weight loss.
At the same time, a with 237 participants investigated the impact of orlistat in a real-world setting to determine adherence to the medication and whether they were well tolerated.
The results showed that participants lost around 4% of body weight after three months. 80% of participants reported being satisfied with the drug due to its positive effect on weight loss.
This suggests that despite its modest effects on weight loss, the medication’s tolerability may support some people to stay on it for longer and change their diet and lifestyle.
Lipase inhibitors like Xenical and Alli can lead to weight loss of 4-8% after one year, alongside changes to diet and lifestyle.
They’re also well-tolerated, with human clinical trials indicating less than 10% of people stop taking the medication due to adverse effects.
However, all medications come with risks and rewards, and not everyone is suitable for weight-loss medications like Orlistat.
Deciding to start a new medication is a highly personal choice. So, ultimately, it depends on whether you believe it’s the best decision for your health going forward.
All weight-loss medications are designed to be taken alongside changes to your lifestyle. Without this, the effects of the drug will not last, and you’ll likely regain any weight you lose in the future.

How do orlistat lead to more weight loss than other weight-loss programmes?Research has shown that orlistat is safe for you to use, with more people showing reduced weight with the medication. However, this weight-loss end- result is based on non-alcoholic mealTHER compared only with diet and exercise, rather than drugs like liraglutide (Saxenda).
Do all medication-related weight loss actually work?
Orlistat is a very specific inhibitor of the enzymes that break down fat, so your body is more likely to block fat from being absorbed. This makes it more effective at preventing absorption of fat-soluble vitamins and gut hormones.
However, most weight-loss medications do not impact your body’s absorption of fat-soluble vitamins and hormones, so a lower dose won’t lead to better results.
Orlistat is used to treat obesity (Weight loss) along with a reduced calorie and lower-fat diet in adults (18 years and above).
Orlistat: Anti-obesity drugs
Orlistat works by attaching to the enzymes in your digestive system (lipases) and preventing them from breaking down some of the fat that you’ve consumed during your meal. The fat that is not digested cannot be absorbed and it is removed by your body.
Consult your doctor if you experience:
Side effects of Orlistat:
Orlistat can cause some people to self-treat with thrush or other vaginal yeast infections also called vaginal thrush. You should not take Orlistat while having fungal infections such as cystitis or acute pelvic pain if you have or digestive or heart problems such as back pain, muscle pain, sore throat, flu-like symptoms, etc.
Orlistat does not affect the absorption of potassium or calcium-containing blood pressure medications such as Plavastatin or Plavix.
Orlistat can cause some people who have dry mouth or dizziness after taking medication, do not use Orlistat as a side effect, and if you have dry cough, simply let the medication sit in a warm place before having intercourse. It may be that you have a dry mouth because of the medication's effects on your pharmacological properties.

It’s a tough time for the weight loss world. I am often asked how to lose weight fast. In the first week or so, I am able to lose about a pound or two. My doctor and dietician have been encouraging me to eat a low-calorie diet with lots of fruits and vegetables. And they have been encouraging me to take a low-fat diet. All the while, I am being overweight and I am eating an average of about 300 calories per day. My weight is about a pound or two and my weight is about the same as the weight in my body. I also haven’t lost any weight in the last year. So my weight has been steadily increasing over the last few months. My weight is only going to get better but it has been only about a pound or two. I am still shedding some pounds but it has been about three months since I started losing weight.
The problem with losing weight is that it’s hard to keep it off. We have to work on our metabolism and our hormones. I was given a prescription for orlistat but I am now taking Xenical for weight loss because I don’t want to lose weight. I am also taking some supplements that are helping me lose the weight so I have decided to try the supplements. I do have a few other things to discuss with my doctor but the ones that have worked for me are the ones that have helped me lose weight. I am taking the supplements to help me get my metabolism back on track. So I am going to keep these on for now.
The first time I did lose weight, I was at a healthy weight and I wanted to be healthy. I was able to lose about a pound or two in the first week and then I am going to lose a pound or two more. I have been losing about three pounds in a row and I am still shedding a few pounds.
My doctor says that I can do it with orlistat. The only problem is that I can’t keep my weight off. I have heard that people who take these drugs will feel fine. They won’t lose it on their own and they will continue to lose weight for a while.
I am now eating some protein and I am taking a low-fat diet with lots of fruits and vegetables. I am also eating some vegetables and I am eating a low-calorie diet. I have started to lose about a pound or two in the first week and I am eating about 600 calories a day. The only reason I am eating a low-calorie diet is because of the side effects. I have been eating more protein, more vegetables, and less calories than I used to and I am eating less fat. I am eating a lot less protein, I am eating less fat, and I am eating less carbs and more fibre. I am eating a lot more carbs than I used to and I am eating more carbs than I used to.
My doctor also says that I should not take my weight off.
