Side effects

Orlistat can cause several side effects primarily related to its fat-blocking action. These include oily or fatty stools, urgent bowel movements, and flatulence with discharge. It may also reduce the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins, so a multivitamin at bedtime is recommended. Rare but serious side effects include liver injury, indicated by yellowing skin or eyes, and kidney issues such as kidney stones. Always discuss potential risks with your healthcare provider to ensure safe usage.

Medication details

Description

Orlistat is a weight loss medication that helps individuals reduce the amount of fat absorbed from the diet. It works by blocking the action of a digestive enzyme called lipase, which is responsible for breaking down fat in the intestines. By reducing the amount of fat absorbed, Orlistat helps people achieve and maintain weight loss.

 It is intended for use in combination with a reduced-calorie diet and regular physical activity. This medication is typically prescribed for people who have a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or more, or for those with a BMI of 27 or more and additional weight-related health problems. It is not recommended for individuals who are pregnant or nursing.

Side effects

Although Alli 60 mg generally has positive effects, it is important to remain aware of potential side effects. Temporary gastrointestinal symptoms, such as oily stools and increased bowel movements, may occur. Rest assured, these effects are usually temporary and decrease as your body adjusts to the medication. It is essential to maintain open communication with your healthcare professional if you experience unexpected or severe reactions.

Warnings

Xenical is contraindicated in people allergic to orlistat or any other ingredient in the medication. It is also not recommended in cases of chronic malabsorption syndrome, cholestasis (liver disorder), or if you are breastfeeding. Weight loss may affect the dosage of other medications you are taking, and you should discuss potential adjustments with your doctor. Using Xenical can cause changes in bowel habits, and it is essential to follow a nutritional program as recommended by your doctor. The medication may interact with certain drugs and disrupt anticonvulsant treatment, leading to seizures. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should avoid Xenical.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Orlistat work?

Orlistat inhibits the action of lipase enzymes, preventing the breakdown and absorption of dietary fats. This results in reduced calorie intake.

How should Orlistat be taken?

Orlistat is typically administered three times daily alongside meals that include fat. If you miss a meal or consume one without fat, you can omit that dose of Orlistat.

Can I take Orlistat while pregnant or breastfeeding?

Orlistat is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Always consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new medication in these conditions.

Will Orlistat help me lose weight on its own?

Orlistat aids in weight loss when combined with a diet low in calories and fats, plus regular exercise. It prevents your body from absorbing a portion of the fat from your meals. However, it's not effective on its own; adopting healthy lifestyle habits is crucial for it to work as part of a broader weight management plan.

How much extra weight can I expect to lose?

Orlistat is clinically proven to boost your weight loss efforts. A general rule of thumb is that for every 2 kilograms you lose through your own diet and exercise, Orlistat can help you lose another 1 kilogram. It acts as a multiplier for your hard work, helping you reach your goals faster than dieting alone.
