Orlistat (Hard capsules)

  • Orlistat helps people lose weight by stopping your body from absorbing some of the fat you eat. Instead of being absorbed, this fat leaves your body when you go to the bathroom.
  • This medicine is only given under medical supervision. Your doctor will monitor your progress to make sure it’s safe and working well for you. They will:
  • Check Your Weight: Your doctor will regularly measure your weight to see how you’re doing.
  • Do Blood Tests: They might check your various renal, liver levels and other health markers to make sure everything is okay.
  • Give Diet Advice: Orlistat works best with healthy eating, so your doctor or dietitian will guide you on how to eat balanced, meals.
  • Sometimes, Orlistat can cause side effects like oily poop or needing to go to the bathroom quickly. Because it blocks fat, it can also stop your body from getting some vitamins, so your doctor may recommend taking a multivitamin.
  • In short: Orlistat helps with weight loss, but it’s not a magic fix. It works best when combined with healthy eating and exercise and your doctor will carefully monitor your progress to keep you safe and healthy.
